Was wondering what the protocol was for deciding on godparents? Do you select a close friend or relative, living or deceased, etc.
I was looking at some baptismal documents and trying to determine how the individuals listed as godparents might be connected to the child.
Thank you!

You will find information on that in our research article here: http://www.rodoslovlje.com/documentation/naming-customs-among-ethnic-serbs-xix-century
Scroll down to the KUMSTVO (Godbrotherhood) section for explanation of that relationship and who was usually chosen to be kum either as a godparent at baptism or a witness at a wedding.
