Nikola Duratovic was born in the family home in Durinici in 1826. His parents Mato (Matthew) and Stane (Ann) Spremic were married in 1822 and had 4 children in addition to Nikola. Duro was the eldest and 2 of the girls, Marija and Pave married and had their own families. 2 of Marija's grandchildren now live in Wollongong, while the rest of her descendants live in Durinici, Molunat and Dubrovnic. We believe Pave's family still live in Vitaljina.
THE NEXT REUNION
A number of the family who were at the Singleton reunion last October (2012) expressed some interest in having a family gathering in Croatia. If you have any interest in meeting in Croatia in 2014 or 2015 please let me know. Ned's sister owns a travel agency and would organise a tour of points of interest for us. So if you are planning a trip to Europe this would be a interesting extension.
