Hi,
Looking for my Grandfathers roots being my surname BUJAK.
Born in 1933 in Srjemski Cakovci which is now in Croatia. I believe that the name originates from the Austro/Hungarian Empire.
His parents were Andrija and Marija born around 1893.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If you are looking fror information on Cakovci in the area once known as Srem.
CAKOVCI Croatia is 153.1 miles ESE of Zagreb. The villiage of Cakovci is Located west of the Danube south of Vukovar (eastern Croatia, 13 kilometers southeast of Vukovar). It Is a Croatian -Hungarian Village in the Municipality of Tompojevic County of Vukovar-Sriem Croatia.

Also records can be found at the LDS for Cakovci in the Sotin Church records. (find at soitting site) I have 1857-1885, but would need aproximet dates for looks up!

Hi Kurt,

In regards to these records, the furthest point I can go back to is my Great Grandfathers year of Birth which is in 1893. Can we trace this back? please...
