The
History and Families of Unije
The
History and Families of Unije
began as the author's quest to study his own genealogical past, and
evolved into an examination of the history and origins of the people on
the island of Unije in western Croatia. Based on documentary evidence and
the oral knowledge of residents, this volume recounts the island’s history
and family origins spanning four hundred years. Included are the
genealogies of the families who established themselves on the island from
the 16th through to the 19th Centuries, and the families who migrated to
nearby Cunski and Mali Losinj in the 18th Century, and to the United
States during the 19th and 20th Centuries.
In order
to make the text available to a wider audience, the history is rendered
into Croatian as Unije Povijest i Obitelji by Mirna Solić and
translated into Italian as La Storia di Unie by Enzo
Valencich and Fiorella Rivera.
