Hello,

I'm trying to find out what my family's last name was in Kosovo between 1750-1800. Are there any archives in Serbia that would hold information from villages around Urosevac that are dated 200+ yrs old? If so, can someone help me???? Thanks,

Uh huh. There is supposed to be a working archive there but I have no contact or information on what is available and how the procedures for research on site and per request go.

A lot of information is available in the archives of monasteries and eparchies of Serbian Orthodox Church - not only if your ancestors were Serbs or Eastern Orthodox, there are many documents like lease and title deeds and correspondence with other communities and military authorities.

There is a wealth of anthropology, ethnology and onomastics researches and studies available in Serbian language for the research of families from Uroševac area. Some of these I highlighted here :

If you can read Serbian check out the anthropology online archive available here :

Other than that - you have to provide specifics - family surname, last direct ancestor you have documented, original records we can review so that we can help provide you with more detailed advice.
