Boras

Where they are, and how they arrive

Seventeen of the thirty placed Boras records are at Senj, and the family runs from 1820 to 1946. The connection is by marriage, twice: Franjo Boras (1888–1943) married Božica “Tonka” Papić, and a second Franjo Boras (1914–1940) married Ruža Prpić. This page used to say they married into the Senj Blaževići; they did not.

One hundred per cent

Strip every sorting label out of the tree and all 55 Boras remain connected to Hedviga by ordinary parent, child and marriage links. Only Kalanj can say the same. Set against Žubrinić at 5% and Prpić at 6%, that is worth knowing about a family this archive has barely written about. The scaffolding →

What is not known

Thirty of fifty-five carry no place at all, and not one Boras occupation is recorded anywhere in this archive. The Senj registers that would fix both have been read for the Papići and not for these people. It is the cheapest unread material here.
