He is obviously Bunjevac by origin, and they can plot like Serbs but Croats from western Herzegovina on average don't.Quote:

Who knows, maybe they only inter-married with other Bunjevac settler families. Please find out his YDNA! :)
Maybe they mixed with some other Hercegovina-origin Croats rather than only Bunjevacs?Quote:

They tested with FTDNA, so they'll have to take another test to know the Y-DNA.
Bunjevci were Vlachs (pastoralists).Quote:

Ah, I see. Would be interesting, they may be related with Ante Starčević who was paternally also Bunjevac Croat :pQuote:
