In
1783 my great-great-great grandfather Jovan Oklobdžija
(Johann Oklopsia) obtained a nobility title "Von
Kukburg". He was a military leader
("Oberleitnant" - rank of Colonel) in service of
Austro-Hungarian empire. I found out from some record there
was a great number of Oklobdžija's in the military service
of Austro-Hungary, some of them having high military ranks.
This is a hereditary title to all of his descendants
according to the family tree that was updated the best I
could on Genius and updated and entered on excel, (thanks to
my cousin Nikola)

Record of the archive in Vienna:
Johann War Archive, Vienna:
I
recently discovered that we have distant relative in Austria
- Exeli-Schweeger in Innsbruck and Viena. Johan's
son Luka (Luccas, grenadeer in Austrian army, born 1747) had
a daughter who married to Exeli and had 27 children. By the
letter of the title, they are all entitled to "von Kukburg"
nobelty title (man and woman descendants). One of the
descendants, Philipp Exeli-Schweeger collected and
interesting book which I am still reading and translating.
Here is his
Book1 and
Book2.
Here is
another of the Austrian descendants, Anna Elisabeth Antonia
Oklopsia von Kukburg:

Interesting
story from one of the descendants, Max Urlacher:
"My family has a certain
affinity for pandemics - but also for wonderful
resurrections. My great-great-grandmother Anna Elisabeth
Antonia Oklopsia von Kuckburg was three when her family was
swept away by Asian cholera in 1855. She and her parents
were laid out in the morgue when the undertaker noticed that
the little girl's eyelid was twitching and brought them back
to life.
The memory of my great-great-grandmother's miracle is held
high these days."
My
distant "Austrian sister" Ingrid Exceli-Schweeger, she lives
and works as a doctor near Vienna:
