I am looking at Croatian records from the 1800s and late 1700s which are in Latin. I can't make out the months in the records because they appear to be abbreviated. For instance, one shows what appears to be: "Dfrir" I think it's a contraction of the names of the months. Does anyone know a website where this information can be found? Thanks, Patty

Thank you, Robert. This is a great site. But it doesn't help me with those tricky abbreviations that I'm encountering! I think Frank's list does help, though.
