Yes, but...
-evska is a Slavic ending especially popular in Macedonia; and Romanians are not Slavic. Besides, Romanian last names generally end in -iu or -escu. And if the ancestor was named Petar, the name would be Petrovska. I am willing to bet that Petre is some dialect form of Petar.

I don't know who "we Romanians" are, but the inhabitants of the country of Romania are Dacian, not Baltic:

Your absolutly right Romanians are Dacians. The country is often referred to as Slavic or Balkans which it isn't either one. It's just an eastern european country right I'm Romanian and Bulgarian Roma on my father's side. The family name was Simeonescu before it was changed to Sims. Are you an eastern european?
