In 1933, the following brotherhoods inhabited Rrash (Raš): Roganović (5 houses), Bjelanović-Marković (2 houses), Krstović (2 houses), Uskoković (2 houses), Racković (1 house), Krkotić (1 house), Malisori (Albanians, 2 houses); a total of 13 Vračani (Serb-Montenegrin) houses which have all left the village. The following brotherhoods inhabited Kulla (Kule): Rešetar (6 houses), Bašanović (3 houses), Milogorić (1 house), Malisori (1 house); a total of 13 Vračani houses which have all left the village.[3]
