About Sons of Mark
Please sign in to see more. My name is Daniel Mercovich, and my heritage is English, Irish and Croatian, with my surname being the Anglicised version of the Croatian Surname Mircovich which translates, roughly, as Son of Mark, hence the name of my website!
Well, at least, that was what I was told by my father, but it would now seem that we are the sons (or children, in this PC time) of Peace, as "Mir" translates as Peace!!
But, then again, Frano Kovac (b c 1580) had a son, Mirko Kovac (b c 1600) and Mirko had two children, Frano Mircovich (b c 1630) and Antio Mircovich (b c 1635), so, maybe, Dad was right!!
I guess this needs a bit more research .....
Speaching of which, a lot of the research of my paternal (Mercovich) line was conducted by my father, Francis (Frank) Mercovich and for my maternal (Ragg) line was conducted by Hugh Hall Ragg, II. My sister Mary (Mercovich) Searle has continued and expanded the research on both sides of the Family. |
