Welcome to my home page on the Family names DEVCIC, DOSEN, PAVICIC, TOMLJENOVIC and RUKAVINA from Lukovo Sugarje, Croatia. Over the time I hope to find out as much information as I can about these names and where they originated from.

To date I have collected 263 family names related to my side of the family 29 of them being unique surnames.

Along the way I also wish to obtain as much history on Lukovo Sugarje and surrounding areas.

Areas of Interest: Lukovo Sugarje, Sugajre,  Krizac, Devcic Draga, Gospic.

On the left hand side you will See Persecution of Croats in the First Yugoslavia which is of interest and the Appendix below it shows family members of mine mentioned in this.

My father Pavao Devcic was born in Devcic Draga, Lukovo Sugarje in all there were 7 boys and one girl born to Marko Devcic and Matija Pavicic. The two eldest boys had died, one had drown at the age of 5 on a fishing trip and the other through sickness. Pavao's father Marko lived to the age of 63 and was a sailor and his mother Matija lived to the age of 95. As a boy growing up he used to travel around in his boat (see right) and do alot of fishing. In time you'll be able to read more on the Devcic line and their heritage as I continue my research.
