Recently replied to another reseacher's ? query below. Daruvar is located 61 miles ESE of Zagreb and 10 miles north of Pakrac in Bjelovar z^upnija (county), Croatia. You give no dates for the surnames. Were you looking for the Daruvar above , or for the other Daruvár ? Darowa was latter's German place name identifier. Formerly Daruvár, Krassó-Szörény megye, in the Bánát region of Hungary; also called Kranichstätten, now Darova, Timis, Romania and located 227 miles WNW of Bucharest. This is across the Croatian border and across the Serbian border and near Timisoara in Romania. Village Names: German: Darowa, Kranichstätten Official: Darova Hungarian: Daruvár Spelling and/or dialect variants: Location: Country: Romania 15km SW of Lugosch Postal Code: 1826 Railroad station: Boldur Population: 1977: 1806 1930: 1917 (98.3% Germans) 1910: 1500 (95.6% Germans) Genealogical Records: Village name in FHL records: Kranichstätten, Daruvár Church records available at FHL: Christenings 1786-1835 only, Marriages 1786-1835, Deaths 1786-1835 FHL Microfilm Nr. 1190378 Daruvár, Krassó-Szörény megye, Hungary, also called Kranichstätten, now Darova, Timis, Romania. Donauschwaben (German) http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/ESE/dschwaben.html ----------------------------------------- My reply to this query is more difficult. Günther is a German surname. Ulianik is located 52 miles ESE of Zagreb. On a map, Ulianik appears to form apex of a triangle with Daruvar and Pakrac, so Daruvar located in Croatia seems to be correct place name. (61 miles ESE of Zagreb and 10 miles north of Pakrac) LDS-Mormons filmed the R.C. parish church records (1791-1921) for Daruvar, Slavonia, Austria; later Daruvár, (Poz^ega) Pozsega Megye (county), Hungary; now Daruvar, Croatia. Text in Latin and Croatian. film # 1419050 1419051 1921762 1921763 2061737 2061738 . . etc (16 films total) A Sokolovac Daruvarski is located 52 miles ESE of Zagreb and 4 miles from Ulianik. Korenica is probably Titova Korenica located 74 miles SSW of Zagreb in Zadar region and near the current Bosnia & Herzegovina border. There is also another Sokolovac located 40 miles ENE of Zagreb and a third Sokolovac is located 135 miles east of Zagreb. Slavonia (E), as in Croatia-Slavonia was called Slavonija (C) and Szlavónia (H) Before WW I there was no country called Slovenia (Slovenija) because it was part of the Austrian provinces. In 1920, a new country of Yugoslavia was also formed including the former Austro-Hungarian lands of the southern portion of the Banat, the southern portion of the Batschka, Bosnia-Hercegovina, the southern portion of the duchy of Carinthia (Slovenia), most of the of duchy of Carniola, Croatia-Slavonia, the kingdom of Dalmatia, the southern portion of Swabian Turkey, the southern portion of duchy of Styria, and Syrmia. The Kingdom of Serbs,Croats and Slovenes was established on Dec. 1, 1918 and was renamed Yugoslavia on Oct. 4, 1929. In 1945 this became the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The six republics that formed the former Yugoslavia were : Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Serbia.
