Just checking if the email thingy is working.

Yes that is the monastery in question.
The family saint is most likely the same as listed on our page, one of the reasons is that a lot of people had a similar surname but wouldn’t necessarily be related. So the family saint gives an extra distinction method to solve that problem. Most people were baptized but not really practicing besides Slava’s and holidays.

Balingen 8-4-1949

Dear Sirs,

I'm tracing the data/information that's in my power.

1. On behalf of Mother Pfundstein, Evica nee Viljanovic
The name of the grandmother mother's side: Viljanovic Milica nee Markic.
The name of the grandmother father's side: Pfundstein Maria nee Kamenovic.

2. My mother tongue is Serbian-Croatian,  letters I do not have
since my mother died in 1943 and my brother which I had
was shot by the Communists in 1945
September.
And so I have no one to correspond with.

3. I studied elementary school and religious in Serbian-Croatian
language in Cerevica (Srem).
I do not have the documents but I wrote to my school colleague
Dusan Jeremic from Cerevic to send me a changed
document if it is not possible. (I attach a copy of the letter).

4. In the party I was not at all.
I note that in Yugoslavia I do not have anyone for my father
I do not know anything, since he and my mother are separated
from him since I was 6 years old.

With respect
Pfundstein Jakov

I hope this helps a bit. It is a classical example of the consequences of the Socialist regime that came into power after WWII and the consequences. So from the letters I can make up that he was the last of his family to leave. Chances are there might still be cousins in the Srem that stayed behind. You could check the phone records.

You should be able to login again 🙂 I can.

[Sergej]

Yea, I would like to see a scan of that document if possible because there are a lot of “dreznica”s out there. It means forest village and there are a lot of them 😉

[Sergej]

Just got back from a roadtrip, I’ll finish the translation asap!

[Sergej]

You can try that with the Archives in Novi Sad and the Monastery in Beocin:

The Church:
PRAVOSLAVNA CRKVA SVETOG VASILIJA OSTROŠKOG ČUDOTVORCA – Beočin. Adresa: Svetosavska bb, Beočin

For Image2-1.png the following:

More later 😉

The familie is originally from the Glina area. You should read through the Krajina parts of our website for more information. You should be able to access the archives in Croatia digitally.

[Sergej]

Hi there,

Did you read the FAQ and articles? It’s not a lot of info you posted.

[Sergej]

Ah, thnx. I will check it out and translate it for you.

[Sergej]

Can you attach it to this post?

[Sergej]

Here is a list with civilian casualties during WWII in the region. It lists Tirjung

Rasovan is Romanian. Which is possible due to the location, Vrsac.
Please let me know if you recognize the names, places etc. in the links above.

[Sergej]

The best way is write them all and see who reacts.

The Futog records could be stored in Sombor as that region was at some time part of that administrative area (yes it changed a lot).

At the link page you can find the addresses, if you need help with that let me know.

[Sergej]

This is the address of the only active Synagogue these days:

Sinagoga
Maršala Birjuzova 19
11000 Beograd (Stari Grad)

As for the other surname that could be: Kuschensky
There is also a large Slovak minority in that area.
Ill check out the spreadsheet and please let me know when you get those documents. Right now I would contact the Synagogue if I were you. Did you also check the online phonebook to see if there are still people living there with the same surname?
