Pitomača family trees researched
An interesting work about residents of Pitomača, a municipality situated half way between Đurđevac and Virovitica, had been published on the internet. According to the latest data, Pitomača today has little over 10 thousand inhabitants.
Author of the work, Branko Begović Bego, made a worthwhile effort in researching available genealogy records: Status Animarum books, birth, baptism, marriage and death records not just for Pitomača, but also adjacent settlements Otrovanec, Kladare and Velika Črešnjevica for which records were kept in one set of books up until 1858.
Many of the surnames that were found in the books were extracted and put on the web site for reference. Moreover, about two dozen family trees were also published, particularly for the following families: Badanjek, Bajsar, Barčan, Bedeković, Begović, Bokan, Brkić, Čerepinko, Dijaković, Drvenkar, Grgačić, Hegeduš, Horvatinović, Jakupec, Klinžić, Kos, Gračan, Majstor, Makvić, Međurečan, Palković, Predragović, Prepelec, Rakijašić, Rešetar, Šelimber, Široki, Tometić and Vedriš.

it seems that the Jandrasincec family has come from this area, however i don’t seem to find any records confirming that…
Antun Jandrašinčeč married to Ankica is the son of
Mato Jandrašinčeč married to a Roza.
If you have any records showing a connection and or any other siblings or family would be most appreciated.

My grandfather was born in Pitomaca in 1884. His name was Stephan Pinterich. I am trying to find which Roman Catholic Church he came from. Are there any from Pinterich family still living there? Can you please help me to get these answers. Thank you so much.
We have found our grandfathers side of the family in Kalinivac, now we are hoping to find our grandmothers side. Do you have any information on the Mardin family. They would have come to the US from Pitomaca in the early 1900s.
