Please help with finding other Vukomanovic/h family

Surnames: Vukomanovic/h
My father came to the UK escaping from yogoslavia during the second world war. His name was Dragan (not sure about spelling). He was suppose to go onto America but met my mother and had children. I am the youngest and at 33 with my father having passed away I am trying to find his relatives. I found a list from a ship (SS Castel Bianco Passenger List) that sailed from Germany in 1950 to America with people with the surname Vukomanovic on.He had a large family and I wonder if any of those people on the boat where his relatives.
Please contact me jsflumpy@aol.com.

If anyone knows anything about my surname or could possible ask older realtives I would be very greatful. Also I am not sure that my father didn't change his name or the spelling was taken down wrong by the English. He was picked up with other men (Milan, Petrovich) in a small boat on the English channel and taken to a prisoner of war camp in Gt Missenden UK. Sometimes I find it amazing that they walked from there home all the way up through the mountains to the French coastline. I have been told my father was serbien but Im not sure as he had been through so much he didn't like to talk about that awful period of his life.
He was training to be a taylor before he was taken to safety by a group of older men.His parents survived the war and I know they were farmers in the North East. My oldest brother had some contact with my grandmother in the seventies. My father had dark wavy hair and brown eyes as a young man. I have been searching for some time and I have never made contact with other Vukomanovics outside my siblings.Maybe some of this will ring a few bells
Its lovely reading all your messages.
