Hi, my Grandfather came from a village in Dalmatia called Zavojauk. I'm trying to find it - I have tried internet search engines, national census etc but haven't found any reference to it. Has anyone heard of it? It is probably a rural area, his family were farmers. If anyone could give me any information it would be so, so appreciated!!
Thanks.

never heard of it. Doesnt sound right. well Zavoj is bandage or a curve on the road and jauk is a scream of pain. do you know where abouts is it? inland Dalmatia probably. maybe if you give your grandad last name would be possible to locate the area he is from. but Zavojauk??  and i heard of many vukojebinas ;D in cro |

Thank-you Dimnjicar and Mark for your help. Dimnjicar you were right, Zavojauk was not right, it turns out the village was probably "Zavojane". Mark, thank-you for the link.
Thanks again,
Carol Ann.
