Hello! My surname is Štefančič and I am from Slovenia so we might be related somehow:)Unfortunatelly I can not help you much with your research as I just started to google my roots today - and so far so good I guess. Štefančič is supposed to be a Croatian surname and probably came to Slovenia with people from northern areas who ran from Turks (we call them Uskoki). It was first mentioned in Croatia in 1672 and a few years later in Slovenia ... Nontheless I believe we can help each other in finding our roots in the future ... Sara
