TOUR DESCRIPTION

In the late 19^th and the early 20^th century, due to difficult life circumstances, many people left this region and headed for the New World in search of a better life, sent off with nothing but tears of their beloved ones. Today, after hundred years or more, we proudly offer this programme to their descendants who have heard the call of their ancestors’ homeland.

We offer you the opportunity to reconstruct your past, re-establish family ties and connect with the local residents, in cooperation with the leading experts in genealogy of this area, which is why this specialised programme is designed exclusively for the descendants of Dalmatian immigrants from the area around the city of Split and the Central Dalmatian islands. Today, a hundred and more years later, their descendants – well-educated, hardworking and successful people – embark on a quest for their identity, driven by the desire to grow closer to their ancestral homeland.

Villages, courtyards, and even the houses of ancestors, the traces they had left, lands they once cultivated, communication with the oldest remaining villagers, visits to those houses, analysis of the family tree and a potential discovery of close living relatives or their resting places… What this program offers is a complete Dalmatian cultural experience.

Understanding the needs of our immigrants from the human, biological and socio-cultural standpoint, this agency has formed an expert team of people supported by the leading genealogy expert in the region, for all those who want to reconstruct the long-broken family and homeland ties through targeted and carefully designed tours starting in their ancestors’ native place and its surroundings. The program is tailored according to personal needs in terms of duration, accommodation arrangements and all the other elements of the trip.

Therefore, all of you who want to explore the origin of your family in more detail and stand on the thresholds of your ancestral homel, contact us with confidence so we can be of service in accomplishing this highly noble goal that is best illustrated by an old saying from our ancient Principality of Poljica:

“…Where one sprouted, there one grew!”
