Hello I'm sorry for reviving an old post.

I have been looking into my family's ancestry and I haven't have found luck.

In this thread it is mentioned that "Mate BRJLEVICH (BRJLEVIĆ) who gets a mention in the mid-1880's Metković birth registers happens to be a father of twins."

Do you happen to tell me where I can look for the names of those twins? My grandfather had a twin sister... But we don't know their names. My grandfather was also from Metkovic (Or Momici, I am not exactly sure. I think his house was in Momici).

The odd thing is that my grandfather wrote down that his father was called Joseph BRLJEVICH.

I also found a telephone on his old address book, and it had an Anton BRLJEVICH. I don't know if he was a brother or cousin? The address says Australia.

I cannot seem to find information on any of these names... Any help is appretiated!

Hello...

Welcome to the NZ board

The twins mentioned are Ivan and Jela BRJLEVICH b.28 Dec 1884

They are the children of Mate BRJLEVIĆ and his wife Mara née MARINOVIĆ

Here is a link to reply no.18 of this thread. It gives a rough translation of and a link to copies of the birth register entries. These copies are on my Dropbox account.

The actual scans of the Metković birth registers are on the FamilySearch website but you need to register to view them. It's free to register.

Here's a link to the Metković resources on FamilySearch

The following link is also mentioned in reply no.18...

I don't suppose either of the Karrinyup or Wollongong addresses match the Australian address you have.

In your above post you say...

My grandfather had a twin sister... But we don't know their names

...but then in your other post you mention that you're looking for info on your grandfather Stanko BRJLEVICH. So are you now only looking for the name of your grandfather's twin sister.

You mention that the twins were born in 1906-ish which is unfortunate because the online birth records for Metkovic only go up to 1900.

However the Metkovic marriage registers cover from 1779 up to 1920 so you could always work backwards from 1907 and look for a BRJLEVICH to MUSTAPICH marriage. Might lead somewhere.

Speaking of MUSTAPICH, the passenger list you mentioned in your other post says Stanko is a female. Maybe Stanko is the female twin and you're looking for the male... or maybe it's just a clerical error.

The passenger link also says he/she is in transit to Canada. Maybe put a post on the Canada board asking if they can find any mention of him/her.

O Canada

Then that's not my grandfather

Sadly, my grandfather was born in 1906... :/ So nothing will show on Metkovic's records.

Well I want to know precisely about his relatives and I want to find the link I have with the NZ families families.

He is a Male It was probably inputted incorrectly. We know that he traveled to Canada but we don't know if it was due to friends or relatives.

I will look into your suggestions. Thanks!

This is my grandfather's birth certificate:

This is my grandfather's birth certificate

Hi again...

What a superb document. I do like the look of old certificates.

You must have done something to upset the genealogy gods because not only is your grandfather's birth register not online but the marriage register for his parent's 1899 marriage, mentioned on his birth certificate, is also not online. (Does that make sense?)

Stanislaus's birth certificate says that his parents, Joseph and Magdalena, were married on 13 Nov 1899 in Slivno. This Slivno is presumably the "Slivno (Metković), Dalmatia, Austria now known as Slivno Ravno, Croatia" mentioned on FamilySearch. Unfortunately the only online Slivno Ravno marriage register covers 1908 to 1920. This is a nuisance because the 1899 Croatian marriage register would mention the names of Joseph and Magdalena's parents, namely your g-g-grandparents.

If you're interested in taking this further you can contact the Metković archives and ask how to obtain a copy of Joseph and Magdalena's 1899 marriage certificate. Just send an email from the bottom of the following "Contact Us" page and see where that leads...

If you do decide to send an email ask if they could also look at the 1906 birth register entry adjacent to Stanislaus. You'd assume his twin is either the previous or following entry.

Stanislaus's birth can be found at...

Year 1906
Volume 6
Page 115
Line 70

Do you know roughly what time period the Darwin address refers to. If so, maybe ask the Australian board if they can advise. There are some clever people over there...

Maybe the Anton BRJLEVICH at the Darwin address is the Antonius BRJELIS mentioned on the birth certificate as a godparent. Maybe not :-)

Thanks! Yes it's an impressive document
So I told my mother again about Anton and she said he was a cousin of hers but she doesn't know anything else. That means that Stanislaus possibly had another brother, who was Anton's father. It would be wonderful to find out who this person is.

There is an Anton Brljevic in Facebook. I will try to get in touch with him.

Sorry for hijacking this thread!
