On ftDNA I'm 5th cousins with some Croat from Herzegovina. Initially I thought he was a Serbian due to his last name, but he said he was Catholic. I asked him how he considered himself, Serb or Croat?
He responded more in line of football teams (he started off supporting red start than hajduk). Then he said some interesting things we can discuss
1)He said he then considered himself just "Hercegovinian" because "Croats from Croatia hates Croats from Bosnia-Hercegovinia"
2)He believes he was Orthodox before and his slava was "Sveti Vraci/Komzan and Damjan" he said this in response to me asking his slava to which he responded I'm Catholic but my slava is this.
He now, as he says, considers himself a Goth (due to genetic test showing him to be I2-DinS, which he considers to be Goth derived). I also heard from Minesweeper some of his relatives turned Catholic and consider them Croats now.
How often is this?
