Tesla's family was not rich but not that poor either. His father, Milutin Tesla, was a Serbian Orthodox priest. Tesla's mother, Đuka Tesla whose father was also a Serbian Orthodox priest, had a talent for making home craft tools, mechanical appliances, and the ability to memorize Serbian epic poems. Đuka had never received a formal education. Nikola credited his eidetic memory and creative abilities to his mother's genetics and influence. Tesla's progenitors were from western Serbia, near Montenegro. Tesla had an older brother named Dane and three sisters, Milka, Angelina and Marica.
