I posted a query a few days ago asking why the (seeming) lack of interest in the LDS microfilms (the only sources of Croatian vital records outside of Croatia). I received many very nice responses for which I thank those involved. Some of those responses along with my comments can be found here: http://www.croatia-in-english.com/QnA/A-1.html Please add your own response to these, if you like. I am trying to find a way (if there is indeed one) to encourage people to make more use of those LDS microfilms. If you were reading the original church books and there was someone knowledgeable reading over your shoulder, the natural response would be to point to some troubling text and ask a question. My view of these various Croatian forums is exactly the same. There are hundreds of knowledgeable and experienced people reading these forums. There is even one forum which allows for images to be attached to the message. But I don't see anyone making use of this method. I'm not sure why. Any comments concerning this issue would be welcomed. You can contact me privately at: [email protected] or on this forum. --Tom Ninkovich Cavtat, Croatia PS/ I am here until mid-June.
