Hi Bob,

there are few books on Uskoks but in Serbian and Your Smiciklas are of Serbian origin that were forced to accept Pope hence Greek - Catholic faith (they worshiped Serbian orthodox church that was called "Greek"). That was common practice in those days - http://www.rferl.org/specials/religion/minorities/uniates.asp

also check this link - there is nice informative paragraph about uskoks
