How the Croatian alphabet |
This page is for people who have mostly finished their genealogy and would like to post it for others to find. At first glance, posting on this page may seem like a hopeless, needle-in-a-haystack thing to do. But it's not, because of the capabilities of today's search engines (such as google.com). Anyone who types any of the names listed below into a search engine will likely find this page. That's why it's important to list spelling variations, if any. If you are willing to share your research information with others, please email to us the pertinent facts. See some of the actual examples, below, for more on how to submit your information. Submit a separate email for each region. If the villages are within a few miles of each other, they can be included together. We need: 1. The nearest large town. Then a description of where the village(s) is in relation to the town. We can help you with this if need be. 2. The village(s) 3. Surnames in CAPITAL LETTERS, preferably as spelled in Croatian. Then put all other variant spellings in parentheses. This is so they can be found by the search engines. Please put the list in paragraph form with commas separating the names, as seen below, not as a vertical column. 4. How to contact you. Put in an email address or a snail-mail address that will be good for a long time. Important: Put "share" as the subject of your email.
