Mikolasevic Family History & Genealogy

History

According to what I have recently found Mikolašević's surname as the main focus of the surname's spread, is the village of Podravska Moslavina, near Donji Miholjac, 70 km west of Osijek, in Croatia, can be marked. The village is mentioned in written sources from 1397 onwards. When searching for sources for the surname Mikolašević in the Croatian State Archives (HDA) I found out that neither HDA nor the church have parish records of Podravska Moslavina parish (possibly a diocese in Pécs), but that the only copy of these documents is available in Croatia in fact is the scan of the parish book Podravska Moslavina available On the familysearch.org website. In HDA I was told that prior to the Croatian Homeland War, Americans scanned parish records as part of a project, and that scan (from the beginning to the end of the 19th century) is the only copy that exists and is used by HDA. Do not believe it, but it is so. So from those scan it can be seen that in the late 18th and first half of the 19th century in Podravina Moslavina the following surnames have appeared: Mikolassa, Mikola, Mikolasev, Mikulassev (even Mikolasco), Mikulashevich, Mikolasčac and finally Mikolashevich. From the transitional variants of the surname it can be concluded that the surname is drawn from Hungary - Mikulás (or Szent Miklós) in Hungarian signifies St. Nicholas. The surname of the family was formed according to the patron saint (which is a fairly frequent phenomenon), and through the transitional variants in the 19 th century the surname of the surnames from the Hungarian variants to the present form Mikolašević can be followed. Considering the fact that after the wars of the Ottomans in 1698 and 1702, Moslavina district and Moslavina and nine settlements (Zanos, Šimanovci, Bučje, Vodovrat, Martinci, Obrez, Potkovci, Radinovci and Kopanovci) Were missing, and in Moslavina only 19 households are listed, it can be concluded that the ancestors of the Mikolašević family in Podravina Moslavina migrate from Hungary during the colonization of Slavonia after the Ottoman expulsion. All the carriers of the surnames Mikolašević and other derivatives through the 19th century are Roman Catholic religions.
