While I was in Korenica to look at the civil records about our family, I also dropped by to see if there was any information about the properties in Kurjak. I was hoping that they might have really old records that would allow us to know when the family moved into house #16.
Unfortunately the records only go back to 1989. Further the house numbers changed after WWII so this won't help us track the family historically. Still, the one interesting thing is that it does give us the size of Kurjak prior to the conflicts in the 90s.
The list includes 61 properties, but for 11 of those properties, it says either that nothing is there or that there is a property but no one is living there. So that means that there were about 50 occupied homes at the time - roughly the same as in 1866.
The list is also interesting in that it gives the last name of the owners. There were 6 different last names in the city in 1989. Ten of the properties were owned by someone with our family's last name: Kljajić.
