A research project by Charles Wardell and Ivan B. Mazuranic

The Mazuranic family originates from Croatia (from the Dalmatian costal region). Many generations have been traced to the scenic village of Novi Vinodolski.

The genealogy is quite well documented to Janko Mazuranic who lived 1658 and some facts are know about other Mazuranic, including Juraj who was a priest and lived in Novi 1474. The name was also recorded in the town of Split in 1360.

The Purpose

The purpose of this site is to:

	summarize some of the information that is already available
	help establish a community of MAZURANIC surname researchers (and variants)
	document the reseach efforts concerning the early (pre 1650) family members
	help determine whether there are totally unrelated MAZURANIC families (perhaps by encouraging DNA testing similar to the technique used by the Duerinck Surname DNA Project).
	provide a platform for researching the MAZURANIC that emmigrated to the US. We are particularly interested in establishing contact to the descentants of the following persons who are thought to have emigrated to the US: Franko MAZURANIC Vladimir MAZURANIC Ivan PERICIC (Peric^ic') Ivan RADETIC Ivan KARGACIN (Kargac^in) Dragutin, Franko and Anton ZORICIC (Zoric^ic') Milan TOLJAN One must also keep in mind that: MAZURANIC might be: JANKOVIC-MAZURANIC or MAZURANIC-JANKOVIC or simply JANKOVIC Surnames might have been modified, e.g. RADETIC to RADETICH, etc. First names might have been changed: John for Ivan, Anthony or Tony for Anton, etc.
