Abstract

The long duration of the lineage, as long as until now, caused the creation of numerous family nicknames. The lineage has developed in numerous places outside Solin as well. The lineage has the largest number of its members in Solin, Kaštel Sućurac, Split and Zadar. To this lineage also belongs the famous historian, rev. Lovre Katić (Solin, 18 February, 1887 – Split, 27 August, 1961). He completed the classical curriculum grammar
