Welcome!  Dobrodosli!
      Recent events have made us all more aware that we have only this day, this present moment!  We will review our past with regard to the special people who are part of our lives, woven into our being and who have helped us become the people we are today. We will document the priceless information we have heard from our parents and grandparents, before it is lost in time. 

      If you are visiting our web site and searching for your family, we hope this site will be helpful to you. Perhaps you will link to one of the Surnames we are researching.  Perhaps you have some questions or additional information for us. We would love to hear from you!

  • The Best Map of Torontal Co Hungary in the1800's


  • I assume this map was made sometime between 1814 and 1838 as the Serbian Orthodox Church of St. Gabriel in Bocar (1814) is shown.  I do not see the Catholic Church of St. Catharina. (1838)
     

    The owner of this map, Dr. Dusan J. Popovic', has marked it 1800. Perhaps an earlier Serbian Church existed where the 1814 Church is now standing.

    This organization contributes to peace among the nations with their many wonderful programs.  Future generations will be able to enjoy what we cherish so much today because of this valuable organization!  When you visit their web site you will be able to see a list and description of all their programs and projects.

    VISITING SERBIA
    My daughter, Carolyn Starsinic, and I visited Serbia and Istanbul in July of 2004.  The trip far exceeded our expectations!  We visited Belgrade, Sremski Karlovci, Kikinda, Bocar and Padej, while in Serbia! To be greeted by our loving family of Bocar was the highlight of our trip!  --Judy 

    We will be happy to share information regarding the airlines, hotels and transportation we used while in Serbia.  Please feel free to send your questions to my e-mail: judystarsinic@comcast.net

         BOCAR 1211-1998 - contributed by Dr. Milorad Drobac 

         HRONIKA PADEJA  by Secerov - gift from Bogdan and Zorica Nenadov

         All connections to our families in Bocar and Padej have been made possible by the outstanding support and help of our friend, Slobodan Nemcev, of Kikinda.


         We visited with Slobodan Nemcev while we were in Kikinda and it was so nice to meet him after five years of communicating by internet! ..04'

          We were fortunate to meet Vlada Ilic of Bocar and a student at the Univ. of Novi Sad!  He has been untiring in his efforts to help us unite with our Markus family of Bocar!  Vlada was our friend and translator when we visited the Markus family in 2004.
