Hello, my father Vladimir migrated to Australia in the 1960s. He had a younger brother Dusan who has sadly passed away. His father Marko was born in 1906, and his mother, Nada (Bitivic?) was born in 1908. I had assumed that my grandfather was born in the family home. Recently I read a research paper that listed a butcher from that address passed away in an Austro-Hungarian camp in 1915.
I am trying to claim Serbian citizenship at the moment but the Department of Home Affairs is being uncooperative at confirming that my father changed his name when he took Australian citizenship.
Any help would be appreciated. I would like to visit Belgrade to do the record search but I don't read Cyrillic and Australian's are currently banned form leaving the country.

It will be challenging to do research if that is what you want. In order to access the archives you will need citizenship and know the language.
You could try to hire a researcher that does the work for you?

@Sergej Thanks so much for replying to my thread. I will go down that path, but I am waiting to see if my cousin will reply to me as she may have some of the papers I am looking for.

Yes, that would be interesting to see what is in those papers.
