Don't know your surnames.

Z^ivogos^c'e Zvogoschia is located 190 miles SSE of Zagreb and
on the Dalmacija coast in the Splitsko region of Croatia.

In 1945, all birth, marriage, and death records held by
churches in Croatia were turned over to the civil authorities
and were deposited with the 'opc'ina' (community city office).
For small villages or places that did not have a city office -
the opc'ina would then be in the next largest village or town.

Any birth and death records older than 1860 were turned over
to the Croatian historical archives.
My understanding is that all religious records had been collected
in State Archives, located at: Varaz^din, Zagreb, Bjelovar, Pazin,
Rijeka, Karlovac, Zadar, Split, Dubrovnik, Sisak, Slavonski Brod,
and Osijek.


The LDS-Mormons have filmed the parish records at the 12 regional
Croatian State Archives.

These microfilm reels are available for rental and viewing
at any Family History Center (FHC) worldwide.
90% of patrons are non-Mormons doing surname research.

These records microfilmed have greater linguistic diversity than
for most other geographic regions.
Latin, Croatian, Slovene, Serbian, German, Hungarian, or Italian
are possible languages used.

The LDS-Mormons filmed the R.C. parish church records (1735-1888)
for Zivogosce, Dalmatia, Austria; now Z^ivogos^c'e, Croatia.
Text in Latin, Italian, and Croatian; sometimes in
Glagolitic * script.
