MILOVAN VELJKOVIĆ set sail for America in 1912. His granddaughter had only a couple of ship manifests and draft registration cards to work from and memories of how her grandfather would keep telling her that she was Serbian. After two months of networking and cross-checking, we were able to confirm that Milovan Veljković was born in the village of Popovce, near Štrpce in Kosovo. The centennial memorial voyage of Milovan's granddaughter to the place where he was born is made even more astonishing by the fact that we were able to find her relatives who will welcome her. SGS Rodoslovlje thanks everyone who helped reconnect this family after one hundred years. Photo: Milovan Veljković with his son and granddaughter, from Popovce, Bitinja.
