Sažetak
Based on the analysis of several selected archival sources, it is proven that a significant part of the present-day Croatian population of the eastern part of the Republic of Croatia originates from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Ottoman conquest of the Kingdom of Bosnia caused longterm mi-gration movements of Bosnian-Herzegovinian Catholics towards the north. They migrated to Sla-vonia, Baranja and Srijem in Croatia, then to Srijem, Bačka and Banat in Serbia, Banat in Roma-nia, and to the north to Baranja and Bačka in Hungary.
This paper analyzes data from selected archival sources of Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Croatian provenance. The focus is on data relating to the Catholic population in Central Slavonian Posav-ina, from Nova Gradiška to Slavonski Brod. They are compared with data from sources on Bosni-an Posavina, Central Bosnia, Northwestern Bosnia and the entire Bosnia and Herzegovina.
A selected geographical area of Central Slavonian Posavina along or very close to the Sava River was also taken into consideration. Anthroponymic data for ten settlements in this area were com-pared. Quantitative data on the share of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Catholic population in the demographic structure of selected settlements in the second half of the 18th century were pre-sented, and a new perspective on previous knowledge was given.
