I have received emails from the priest with information on direct line from my father's side and Tom on his visit to Croatia has visited him in the past on my behalf and on all occasions I have sent him money for his troubles. I am one of the unfortunate ones who would go to the LDS and hire films but the villages my parents and their parents came from are not listed or recorded by the LDS. regards Mary ____________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 31 March 2005 12:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [CROATIA-L] Re: CROATIA-D Digest V05 #81 In a message dated 3/30/2005 5:57:10 PM Pacific Standard Time, Mary writes: Have contacted the priest a number of times to see if I can get both grandmother's lines sent but he at this stage has not written back, Mary, You have to remember a couple things about the priest. First, they are in short supply in any area they reside and often have to cover more than one parishes, which means that they are busy doing the work they promised to God. Secondly, anything they do related to genealogy is if and when they have time - genealogy is not their primary interest; you can't expect them to provide family trees for you. If you wrote and asked about a specific person's records, what ever it is, they may answer, but asking for a line might is probably more than they are willing to take on.... It is always more incentive if there is a person there who can encourage them on or get the information once the priest provides a book, or will give them a little for the church or take them to dinner to encourage cooperation in the venture; I wouldn't expect much from them, not only in Croatia, or, based on past experience in other countries, more than a record at at time.
