Well, that is interesting. Basically it just brings you back to the Croatian State archives. You can go to their site, they have a partial index already online.

[Sergej]

There are some interesting books that you can read on the Serbs in Dalmatia and the influence the Venetians had. But I can also advice you to check Venetian/Italian archives for some periods mainly because they were responsible for some era’s administration.

Nice scan though

Pozdrav Brane,

Yes problem is that although there are assimilations that one cannot always say what kind of assimilation this is/was. E.g. adoption or intermarriage. My wife her family is from Dalmatia, Dalmatia has a very long history. If I can be of assistence let me know.

Poz,

[Sergej]

I have been reading over the post in the EZboards forum but there are some sirious errors in there. The Illirians were extinct by the time the Serbs & Croats arrived in the Balkans. Also, Illirians is a collective name for a group of tribes that are not really related to each other. Most of them were wiped out during the Roman campaigns, and the survivors that we made part of the Roman Empire fell when the Roman Empire was on decline. The Ostrogoths, Visigots, Vandals and Celts moved through the Balkan peninsula killing on in their path even included the highlanders in the mountains. Henceforth the invitation of the Byzantines later on to allows the Serbs and Croats in the region. There are reports of pockets of remaining Celts, but I am sorry to say there are now Illirians.

Serbian has a lot of borrow words, even Celtic, more then 600 of them. Besides that we have German, French, Latin and Greek borrow words.

A lot of the Serbs that came to the Dalmatia region during the settlement in 600 AD underwent a lot of migrations and wars. The migrational pattern of the Serbs is in phases. Basically what is important for you is the following:

1. Are they original inhabitants of Dalmatia or did they come from e.g. Hungaria/Slavonia as the Ugrcic branch did?
2. Are the related to families from Montenegro? There has been a lot of moving/migration between Dalmatia and Montenegro
3. Check the parish records and Croatian state archives, all that you need is there.
4. The fact that e.g. a family is Catholic or Orthodox doesn’t necesarely mean that they are ethically Serb or Croat. They could even be of Venetian origina or just simply mixed.

I adivice you make a pedigree at http://www.rodoslovlje.com/voyager/rodoslov
That way we can talk easier and I can give you directions into which archives you should look.

Please be aware that the last Balkan war destroyed a lot of churches and their books.

Danica is doing fine. You can email her always or send her a PM. She isnt online a lot due to her phone line. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Hi Sheila,

You will need the following:

1. At least 3 members in your state,
2. One of you is the local president/representative, a local secretary and a local bookkeeper

And that is it! Most of it is easy. You can organize get togethers for members etc. And you branch will get its own section on the site.

Let me know if you need more information.
