Jandre's (six!) Siblings

Another piece of significant information that came out of my interview with Milka was that Milanko and Stana had six children: 6 boys and 1 girl.  She didn't know many details about birthdates, but the family was always living in Kurjak and so presumably the births all occurred there.

Here are the names of the seven children:

Jandre
Dmitar
Petar
Jovo
Marko
Anđelija
Nikola

She said that only Jandre, Anđelija, and Nikola lived long enough to have children.  The other four boys (Dmitar, Petar, Jovo, Marko) all died without children (or being married).  She thought they all died young in birth or as children (although we have from other interviews that Jovo did lived to be an adult who traveled to America where he died).    She didn't know their birthdates, but they were all born before Anđelija, which means they were born before 1903.
