Rodoslovlje spring update
With the spring at our doorsteps our team has been dedicated to create new updates on our site to enable better usability. This means that there will be some improvements on our website, one of the most important ones will be that the forums are going to be embedded into the site. This means only one menu and a complete inteface of languages.
Another large update will be that users will have public profiles in which they can put information they want. E.g., users can choose to put some relative information about their family tree in their profile, SGS members can create galleries and have extended permissions on the site. There is also a possibility that users can have Blogs, this however is something that is still under debate in our team.

Can I hire a researcher from the SGS?
We receive many requests if we as a society can do research. As we have stated many times on the forums and other subsequent pages the society does not do hired research. The main reasons for this are that we are not a commercial orgnanization, nor do we have the resources for this. As a society we seek to empower people to do their own research. The logic behind this is that people become more aware of their cultural heritage and it claims a sense of ownership. Other reasons for not doing research are that citizens of Serbia are free to access the archives whenever they want. However, for foreigners there are restrictions. One must first obtain permission of the Serbian Government before one can access the archives.
