A few months ago, I put a Query on this site about my Father in Law,
Stanley Lacich who came to America prior to 1929, married a woman in
Coverdale, Allegheny Co, Pa had 5 sons and went back to Croatia. He did
come back to the US and died here. Is buried in Bridgeville, Pa. But no
other family is here in the US. I was interested in knowing if any of my
Husbands relatives may still be alive.
The response was great, and I was advised to get His Social Security
Death Record which I have done. Stanleys fat

Don't know your surnames.
Z^ivogos^c'e Zvogoschia is located 190 miles SSE of Zagreb and
on the Dalmacija coast in the Splitsko region of Croatia.
In 1945, all birth, marriage, and death records held by
churches in Croatia were turned over to the civil authorities
and were deposited with the 'opc'ina' (community city office).
For small villages or places that did not have a city office -

Thank you, Joe. Slowly but surely we are getting these records together
and it is our hope to put all our family members together before much
longer and without help from my good friends here at CROATIA-L, I'd
still be in the dark--now I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi to all,
I am researching the Stojcevich family of Nova Gradiska and Polijana. My
grandfather, Theodore Stojcevich, immigrated to the U.S. in 1913 and
reportedly had a few brothers/sisters still in Croatia. Would enjoy sharing
information with anyone researching this surname.
Thanks,
Peggy
I have seen Vid translated into English as William.

I'm researching LDS microfilm and wonder if anyone can help me with the following:
- are Marko and Marcus the same name for Mark (there are different entries with these two names alternating, but the address remains the same)
- are Franja and Franca the same name?
- what does Vid mean? It is listed as a first name
- what does 'dieb' mean in the name column
Thank you. Mary

Sorry but the LDS microfilms of military records listed under Gospic'
are very limited.
Only deaths of military personnel 1809-1810.
Nothing under Karlobag.
The LDS microfilms of military records under Zadar included only :
Births, marriages, deaths for certain years for :
the artillery depot
military police personnel
and the military hospital
Records in German.
Will still need to write the Kriegsarchiv in Wien, Austria.
And must know name (number) of the military unit surname served in ?
I have recently gotten a research report from Croatia, Lika region,
Mainly from the town of Sveti Rok, but, a few others included. There are
bap. and marriage entries from church record. 29 separate surnames.

contact me off list and I will send the entry. JBalen1234@aol.com

2XI would be 2 Nov; 6X11 would be 6 Dec.
Most of the parish records list the day in Arabic numerals, then the month
in Roman numerals, then usually the year, or the last 2 digits of the year.

The six republics that formed the former Yugoslavia were :
Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Slovenia,

I don't know what years you are looking at, but in my Croatian research
from 1828-1858 Latin was used for about the first half, then Croatian.
In the earlier records, the given names were latinized (e.g., Martinus,
Josephus, etc.). I would guess that is the case with Marko/Marcus. I
have also used the address as a validating fact.
My GM was Franca (Frances), and although in her case the given name was
consistent, I have other cases where there were minor variations in the
given name. GF was Fran
