Hey everyone! Franjo Smrekar, my grandfather was born in Semnica Donja, Croatia in the 1800's (I have to ask my mother about the exact date). He had 11 children, 7 boys and 4 girls. My mother Jelena is the eldest child and she was born in 1940, also in Semnica Donja, Croatia. I've only read a few of the postings. Does anyone think that there is any relation between the Smrekars in Austria as well as the US and the Smrekars in Croatia?
