According to some researchers, Karađorđe's paternal ancestors most likely migrated from the [[Brda, Montenegro|Highlands]] (in what is today Montenegro) to [[Šumadija]] during the Second [[Great Serb Migration]] in 1737–39 under the leadership of [[Serbian Patriarch|Patriarch]] [[Šakabenta]], as a result of the [[Austro-Turkish War (1737–1739)|Austro-Turkish War]] (in which Serbs took part).<ref name=Pastir-u-najmu>{{cite news|url=http://www.novosti.rs/dodatni_sadrzaj/clanci.119.html:276201-Pastir-u-najmu |title=Pastir u najmu}}</ref> Serbian historiography accepted the theory that Karađorđe's ancestors came from [[Vasojevići]].<ref name=Nasledje-Karadjordjevici/>

Some conjecture has arisen about where the family ended up after arriving in Šumadija. According to Radoš Ljušić, Karađorđe's ancestors most likely hailed from Vasojevići, but he has said there is no certain historical information on Karađorđe's ancestors or where they came from, folklore being the only real source. Most likely, Karađorđe's ancestors hailed from [[Vasojevići]].<ref name=SKG-1932-282>{{cite book|title=Srpski književni glasnik, Volumes 35–36|author=Bogdan Popović, Jovan Skerlić|year=1932|page=282}}</ref><ref name="Vesović">R-J.
