Ok, birth certificates only have names and stuff. They dont list anything else. In this case you should approach the Serbian Orthodox Church.

No problem, most of us speak English here. All church related documents are at the Church Archives and not at the municipality. I never heard that one needed a baptismal certificate, a birth certificate yes.

Hi Jelena,

We have extensive info on our website on how to do research. Did you read those articles?

[Zarevac]

Well, if you can get your hands on a copy of that original before it was translated then I can rule out if its Slovakian or not.

You can send it to our email address: [email protected]

Ok, do you have images from those documents you are talking about? Spelling is very important with these towns.

[Zarevac]

They do exist but you need to be there in person to access them.

[Zarevac]

We are closed the next couple of weeks during the holidays.
From all of us, Merry Christmas and a happy 2021!

Can you please provide us with the link from the LDS site? It will help us with the image translation.

Hello Tudor,

A quick question from my side. Do you live in the region?

[Zarevac]

Important notice, these few days some changes will take place in the layout to enhance usability after some feedback we got.

Hi,

Do you know why they changed their surname?
Prilep is in North Macedonia these days.
You might want to try contact the archives there: https://www.arhiv.gov.mk/index.php?j=3

[Zarevac]

We are one step further again in our work to have more information online and more online features as well for people to integrate. The next update will involve the forums.
