Willem,

In response to your PM, try this: http://www.catholic-zr.org.rs/eng/eng.html

Did you ever try to contact them directly, Catholic Church that is: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/30746099

The church was built in 1833.

You could check and see with the LDS Family History Library if they did any work on the Catholic records. If not you can always try to send them a letter via snail mail assuming these are direct relatives of yours?

[Sergej]

Those archives are not digital. You could check with the Catholic Church there and request information. And perhaps also the municipality archives.

[Sergej]

Did you read the FAQ and research section articles? Do you have more information such as dates etc.?

[Sergej]

Did you read the articles in the Research section and the FAQ's. There is a lot of info there and work that you can do before you go look for a researcher.

[Sergej]

The archives in Montenegro should have data, and perhaps depending on the source Family Search can yield some results as well. Check the link page, if you can't find it let me know.

[Sergej]

You can check the  Croatian Archives and Family Search as they microfilmed most of their material.

Hello Jaime,

Žabalj falls under the Novi Sad archives. You can write both the archives and the Church as that is where the information would be. You can also use the online phonebook to see if there are still people with the same surname living there.

[Sergej]

Did you check with Ellis Island?

[Sergej]

We need a little bit more information. E.g. was your grandfather migrate? Please elaborate.

If you are sure about the dates you should write the archives of Belgrade and ask them for information.

[Sergej]

Check the articles Yugoslava wrote in the Learning and Research Center. US immigration made a lot of mistakes when people entered and Ancestry's records. Also, Serbs use the Old Calendar –>see Orthodoxy, so its possible you get different dates of birth.

This is where the village is: https://maps.google.nl/maps?q=Crljenac&hl=nl&ie=UTF8&ll=44.495526,21.360168&spn=0.742518,1.234589&sll=42.457407,18.741989&sspn=0.383997,0.617294&t=h&hnear=Crljenac,+Brani%C4%8Devo,+Serbia&z=10

Your best bet would be to start writing the municipality there. Do you speak any Serbian?
