Welcome
to the Bosiljevo, Croatia page. The purpose of the page is to
provide information about the community of Bosiljevo, it's current
town, village and hamlet names, as well as the surnames of the
residents within those areas. As the site develops, we hope to
be able to provide some historical information, and perhaps feature
the talents of some of the residents of the area. The data
contained within this site was researched and provided by several
people: Mrs. Ljiljana Lesic, and Mr. Miro Caic. If you think that
you may have a family connection to the Bosiljevo area, and have
a question about it, you can contact Mr. Caic by e-mailing him at this address: |

The following
is an article containing a current descriptive overview of the
Bosiljevo area, as well as a portion of it's history. The article
was composed by Mr. Igor Benic, and translated by Mr. Inoslav Ercegovic. Our thanks to both of these gentlemen for

| The town
of Bosiljevo is located approximately 25 km. WSW of the city of
Karlovac. Bosiljevo is the county seat for 43 nearby villages
and hamlets, covering a geographic area of approximately 111 square
km. Some villages within this jurisdiction have their own village
board, or committee, while others fall under a municipality (opcina)
comprised of several villages or hamlets. Over the years, many
residents of Bosiljevo have emigrated to the USA and Canada. Most
every household in the community has relatives in another part
of the world. Hopefully, this page will help someone re-establish
a link to any family that may still reside there. |
