The Marriages
This archive follows four surnames and gives each a page. Hedviga's descent runs through more than twenty. The other nineteen carry forty-five direct ancestors between them. If one of these is your family, this page is for you.
A pedigree names the men and loses the families. Every generation back, half of
this descent arrives through a woman with a different surname — and those surnames are
Uroda, Sekula, Jelličić, Bacchi, Gerkacs, Pekass, Orešković, Lončarić, Tomljanović
and ten more. They are not minor. They are half of it.
Nobody is on this page because of their surname.
Each family is here because a numbered direct ancestor of Hedviga carries the name —
an ahnentafel number, not a spelling — which is why nineteen families and forty-five ancestors
is the whole of it and not a first draft to be cut down. The families are grouped by the
generation at which they entered the descent, which is the same number read again.
They cluster by town, not by family
Sort them by where their people actually are, and the married-in surnames turn
out to be a record of where the line was living at the time rather than a set
of independent families. A line at Karlobag married Karlobag; a line at Selce married Selce.
Each dot is a numbered direct ancestor at the year of their birth — this archive has only one dated marriage record, so it plots what it has and says so. 27 of the forty-five carry a year.

The marriages themselves
Every couple the ahnentafel names — a father and a mother are always two consecutive numbers, so the nineteen families above are the wives' side of exactly these marriages.
Most of these families are one person deep.
Fourteen of the nineteen are published here as three people or fewer — the
ancestor, sometimes a parent, and nothing else. This archive has their name and their
marriage and almost nothing of their life.
Several have no place at all. Sekula,
Shambul Marić, Pećanić and Findrić are surnames attached to people with no recorded
village — which is how a line ends without anyone noticing.
Two are not really separate families, and each says so on its own
entry above rather than here.
