These are old photos (pre-WWI) of people born in what is now Croatia (Austria at the time). Some emigrated, some did not.
The purpose of this gallery is to help identify family origins by surname and style of dress. For example, the 1st three surnames shown below (Metkovic', Memed, and Kukuljica) are specific to the Konavle region of southern Croatia and found in very few other regions. And the style of dress is also specific to this region. So, if you are researching any of these surnames or if you have an old photo that shows this type of national dress, then those people are likely to be from this area.
We will eventually show many more photos. This section has just begun. If you would like to submit a photo, please send us an e-mail. Describe the photo and state why you would like for it to appear here. Remember that it must serve a purpose other than to just have Grandma's photo on the web. Please do not e-mail the photo unannounced. Most photos here will be pre-WWI.
