The book Lineages and Clans of Dabar, written by Professor Dr. Milenko Kundačina, was presented at the Cultural Center in Trebinje, offering an insight into centuries of family history, ancestry and kinship ties in the Dabar region of Herzegovina.
The publication documents the earliest settlers and the continuous presence of Serb families in the area, preserving valuable information about their origins and historical connections.
Book traces more than 450 years of family history
One of the most significant historical details presented in the book concerns the Đurica clan, believed to have been the first to settle in the Dabar area more than 450 years ago.
Descendants of this clan remain present throughout Dabar and other parts of Herzegovina today.
Kundačina’s work covers 136 family lineages, providing an extensive overview of their history, origins and relationships.
The book serves as a record of the region’s genealogical heritage, helping preserve the identities and traditions of families whose roots extend back several centuries.
Traditional gusle performance accompanies book presentation
The literary evening was enriched by a performance from traditional gusle musician Milenko Samardžić, adding a musical element closely associated with the cultural heritage of Herzegovina.
Lineages and Clans of Dabar was published by the Belgrade-based publishing house Samo Korak.
