Hello Kurt, 1. Vinkovci is not a village, it is a town. It had its own hospital prior to WWI 2. The tel books probably would not help you much. Between the 2 wars even in Zagreb relatively well to do people: judges, university professors etc did not have a phone In the village (on vacation) we had to go to the post office- this was the only phone in the whole village. Since practically nobody had a phone, you did not miss it because there was nobody you could call. At times I am wondering how we managed to get appointments even dates? Tatjana.

Hello Tatjana, I realized it was not a Village, but I figured at one time it was so, I thought I would get away with the terminology. Sometimes in the woods in Michigan someone says there are going to town, might mean there going to the local village party store......... But from what I understand Vinkovci is actually a city within the Municipality (Township) of Vinkovci. So Thank You for pointing that out. Town http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/town.html Township http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_1861721162/township.html Thats interesting..............Well no phones no phone book, another avenue shot down.........;-) Tell me did you have a address or a Post Office box? Did the postman deliver or did you have to pick up the mail? I asking I am wondering if the Post office kept a list of the residents and there address's?

A village is defined as a settlement of a group of houses with several families. A town is defined as a settlement with from several hundred to several thousand people. One definition says that a village has no church. And then there is the hamlet....
