As some might have noticed we added the heraldry feature to the surname database. Prior to this on the old database it was seperate. Now it is integrated and will display the Coat of Arms with additional information. Please be aware that the arms added are from Siebmacher and old Serbian sources and that most families in Serbia do not have a Coat of Arms. The Siebmacher source deals with families in Dalmatia and the Serbian sources deal with Serbs that were enlisted in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Other Serbian families in Serbia proper are from the medieval noble corpus, which are extinct: http://www.rodoslovlje.com/voyager/en/heraldika

Jugoslava,

This will soon change, we are adding the functionality. Its on the todo list

Sheila is indeed a member. But we always advice members to post on the members forum to prevent confusion as its the only place members can post and not non-members.

You would have to start your search at the archives in Pančevo.

Hello Alistair,

Your should contact the archives in Novi Sad for starters. If he joined the Legion and finished his tour he did have French citizenship though and the Legion has good record keeping. There is/was a large German population in Vojvodina so its possible he was German or Austrian for that matter. Please read the FAQ and let me know if you need more assistence, membership would be an option.

Thnx, just post the link of the topic if when you find it.

Its blank, I dont see anything.

This is where Slabina is: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Slabinja,+Hrvatska+Dubica,+Hrvatska&hl=en&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=54.928982,79.013672&oq=slabinja&hnear=Slabinja,+Republika+Srpska,+Bosnia+and+Herzegovina&t=h&z=14&iwloc=A

Now Pec is, as Jugoslava says, in Kosovo. The Turks refer to Pec as Ipek. And a lot of Serbs that lived there as well during the occupation. So its possible that they were from those two places.

We will soon have the pedigree system active on this website. That will make things easier to work with.

Connie,

Could you PM me your address info and I will finish the letter for you.

[Sergej]

Connie,

I will move this thread to the members only forum and I will reply there later today with the letter template attached. We will help you contact the archives and the church.

Regards,

Sergei

PS No need to start a new topic every time, just reply in the existing one

Hello Connie,

Ok, I checked the attached files. Some problems with the documents. The first one looks like a death certificate but its handwritten. So its not an official one, you will need to get that from the archives. If it fits the handwritten note then its adds to its validity. 

So the following steps are required to verify and validate the story.

1. Contact the archives for the death certificate,

2. Contact the Church and ask if they have any records,

Do the scans have any logo's btw? Especially the first one?

Hello Connie,

Click on this link to create a new topic in the members only forum: http://www.rodoslovlje.com/voyager/en/node/add/forum/92

You will then see fields such as "Subject", "Body", and a little bit below that "File Attachements".

Click on Add a new file and locate this file you want to add on your harddrive. Then click on Upload. The file is added to your post. Add your message and click post. That is all to it. Let me know if you need assistence.

[Sergej]

I think we wrote an article on the forums or somewhere on the website about hiring researchers. Our general experience is that its not worth the money. And if you do hire one, get one that lives in Serbia.

[Sergej]

Emails are not considered normal for inquiries with the archives. This is something to take into consideration. As Jugoslava pointed out, Serbia has equal privacy laws as in Germany. 

[Sergej]

Could you list what you did thus far in detail ?
