How would I go about finding a birth record for my ancestor Jacob Heck (americanized spelling) He was born 24 Apr 1878 in Kovil-Szant-Ivan also know as Sajkas, Serbia. Sajkas is the modern day location of Sajaksszentivan (Hungarian spellng). I am trying to locate a birth certificate/record. Who would I contact for this information?
Thank you for any assistance,
V. Dean

You need to contact regional state archive in Novi Sad and Istorijski arhiv Vojvodine for information where the state vital records or microfilmed copies of church vital records are located and for which period they are available.
Also keep in mind that all church vital records have been returned to religious communities and to obtain info from them you need to contact the church that your ancestors belonged to - that will depend on their religion but these will also be located in Novi Sad town.
