Best Answer

Nikola Tesla was born to Serbian parents in the village of Smiljan, Austrian Empire near the town of Gospić, in the territory of modern-day Croatia. His baptismal certificate reports that he was born on 28 June (N.S. 10 July) 1856 to father Milutin Tesla, a priest in the Serbian Orthodox Church. His mother was Đuka Tesla, néeMandić, whose father was also a Serbian Orthodox priest. She was talented in making home craft tools and memorized many Serbian epic poems, but never learned to read. Tesla's biographer John O'Neill relates that the Tesla and Mandić families originally came from the western part of Serbia near Montenegro.
