Hi Jeff,

I have the addressess of two archives for you. It appears there are two towns of Glina so I think you should try both of them. Here are the addressess:

Lj. Šestiæa 5
47 000 Karlovac
tel. 047/ 621-092, 622-510; fax.047/ 336-195 e-mail: [email protected]

A. Cesarca 1
35 000 Slavonski Brod
tel. i fax. 035/ 446-573
e-mail: [email protected]

Thank you Sergej

No problem, just a small not. The email address might not work I just learned from another member!

Just love this region....

I was able to send an email last week to the archives but no reponse so far.

Ok, lets wait and see for one or two more weeks. I can't say if they ever check their email. We are working in the mean time on getting addresses and such from the Orthodox Church on how to proceed, but its outside of Serbia and we don't have anyone ( yet ) inside Croatia as a representative. We do have already someone in Bosnia as you can see.

Keep me posted!

Sergej

Dear friends,

I don't know if this could be helpful, but it's certainly useful to have some links to web pages of Serbian Orthodox Church dioceses. A page of links is at:

Best regards,

Sergej,

I'll keep you posted if I hear back from them. Thanks once again for your help.

Sasa,

Drago mi je. Hvala jer link.

Jeff

Hey Jeff, Not fair. I don't speak Serbian.
Best Regards,
Sheila

I was able to reach the archives in Sisak. They have records from 1840 to 1890. Older records are kept in Zagreb.

Hello Jeff,

I found 13 Stojakovic families in the Croation Phonebook for the region of Karlovac. See : http://imenik.ht.hr/?a=find&metoda=2&lang=0&naziv=stojakovic&izbor=3&zup=15&mjesto=&ulica=&Search=Tra%9Ei

But there is only one in Dalmatia; Knin see: http://imenik.ht.hr/?a=find&metoda=2&lang=0&naziv=stojakovic&izbor=3&zup=0&mjesto=Knin&ulica=&Search=Tra%9Ei

Sisak knows 34 hits see: http://imenik.ht.hr/?a=find&metoda=2&lang=0&naziv=stojakovic&izbor=3&zup=0&mjesto=Sisak&ulica=&Search=Tra%9Ei

Basicly from what I can see is that most families live near Karlovac, and Dalmatia. I don;t know in how far these people are formiliar with their heritage and if they would belong to the same line for that matter. Glina gives no hits. One question I have though is; Are there any typical names that keep on coming back in the family tree?

Anyways, we posted a job opening for Croatia so all we can do now is wait.

Djuro is the most common after our slava. That was my Jedo name as well as two cousins. Vlad and Stan are next.

It seems my great grandfather's (stanley), children first names were in honor of someone. Djuro our slava, lubi after my great grandmothers twin sister, Angelja after his mother. I don't know who Vlad the eldest was named for though.

Stanley's mother, my great great grandmother maiden name was Raukovic. I looked at the online phone book and found two. One is in Borovo the other in Velika Gorica. That seems to reinforce the Sisak-Karlovac region.

Jeff

Yes, in those days the families of both the husband and wife usually lived in the same region. This might give you more hope and possible contact information. If you can't find a link directly you can try through the female line to authenticate the male line.
Raukovic surname is rare and not ofter used btw! Any documents from your gg mothers side that might give you a lead? You can try Sheila's approach and just write them for that matter.
