This section will look to build some historic context for Lika villages using specific records for that village published across the website and any discernible history from published documents and local folklore.
From army, church and land registry records any continuity in surnames and addresses can be shown. Other records will provide total homesteads and populations for the villages across decades and centuries. There are a number of books that provide some details of historic events in or around villages (open a new window to the references page).
If you would like to share any history about Lika villages please write to,
It will take considerable time to build a short history of each village and information will be added as and when time allows and information found. Each page will also be updated when there is new information to post.
