Looking for information on Matijk Fius, who came to Australia from Belgrade during or after WWII with his 2 children Dragica and Miodrag. His wife, (Antonia?) had already died.
Any info on any Fius from Belgrade would be appreciated.
Also - is this actually a Serbian surname? I thought perhaps it was shortened when they immigrated?
Thankyou very much!

I only found FIUS surname as belonging to ethnic Slovenians.
Your family may have either been residents of Belgrade before WWII, or they were part of Slovenian people deportations from Slovenia to Serbia during the war. The first names of the children suggest that mother was Serbian. You need to look for place of birth of Matjik Fius in Slovenia most probably, and you should join this very helpful facebook group :

If you know the birth year of the children, their birth records can be obtained from Belgrade municipal office where they lived.
