For your convenience, we are reproducing the article entitled “ Finding Jewish Family Records in Croatia” from our “ InfoFile” section on the JewishGen website. Finding Jewish Family Records in Croatia By Ed Zwieback Searching for records in Croatia has been limited by the lack of activity for this area. There are Croatian genealogy websites that can be found via feefhs.org and cgi.rootsweb.com. The Mormon Family History Library (FHL) began microfilming records in Zagreb in March 1985. They have acquired over 2,500 microfilms in Croatia, including Jewish records for 15 towns. These films are listed in a recent issue of Avotaynu(Summer 1999, Vol. XV, no. 2, page 5), as well as in the Family History Library Catalog(FHLC). A good article on “ Croatian Research at the Family History Library” by Thomas K. Edlund can be found on the Feefhs.org web site. An updated and expanded version of this article, entitled “A Beginner’s Guide to Croatian Research”, by Thomas K. Edlund, can be found in the FEEFHS Quarterly, VII:1-2 (Spring/Summer 1999), pp. 7-37. Croatia has a Central State Archive, located in the capital, Zagreb. The Hrvatski Državni Arhiv(National Archives of Croatia) is the main depository of old church records for many parts of the country. Any birth and death records older than 1860 (some up to the 1880’s) were turned over to the 12 Croatian Regional (historical) Archives (DRŽAVNI ARHIV …). The record- ending dates may vary from one regional archive to the next. The Regional Archives are located at: Varaždin, Zagreb, Bjelovar, Pazin, Rijeka, Karlovac, Zadar, Split, Dubrovnik, Sisak, Slavonski Brod, and Osijek. In 1945, all birth, marriage, and death records held by churches in Croatia were turned over to the civil authorities and were deposited with the City Register Offices (‘opc’ina’; MATCNI URED …). These include Jewish records. There are 400 municipalities within 21 counties (županija) in Croatia. Since Zagreb is large, there would be many such offices located within the city. Addresses of the City Register Offices for post-1900 records are difficult to locate from the Internet. Croatian records have greater linguistic diversity than for most other geographic regions. Croatian, Slovene, Serbian, German, Hungarian, Latin or Italian are possible languages used. I obtained very good results when I sent an inquiry letter (in English) to the Regional Archive of Varazdin, asking for vital records. The Varazdin archivist has provided copies of several marriage, death, and census records for my family (1879-1930s). The Varazdin archivist also searched the City Book of Inhabitants, 1930s, and a Record of Conscription of Jews sent to concentration camps, 1941. I have used the FHL film No. 1791974, “Zagreb Jewish Births and Deaths 1858-1904, and the film is very easy to read. The Jewish Community of Zagreb may be able to help with family records. They have furnished me some very useful information.

Still there are a small number ofrabbis out there who will officiate foryou Some are bona fide rabbis Butthere are also individuals in themarket place who call themselvesrabbis and who officiate at interfaithweddings even though they have notundergone any type of serioustraining and indeed have very littleknowledge They have obtainedcredent ia ls f rom unaccredi tedinstitutions and usually spend verylittle time studying much of anythingJust as you would not want youra t to rney doc to r p lumber o rmechanic to be someone who hasearned his or her credentials on thefly it is probably not a good idea tohave an officiating rabbi who did Itis not hard to distinguish between thebona fide rabbis and those who arenot If a personrsquos rabbinic ordinationwas obtained after a rigorous courseof study lasting at least five years hisor her ordination is most likelyacceptable If a personrsquos ldquoordinationrdquofollowed something less rigorous ndashthere are actual cases of peoplebecoming ldquoordainedrdquo after studyingfor just a few weeks or taking sometype of take home test ndash buyerbeware Finding the Rabbindash Once you find arabbi you want to make sure that thatrabbi is the rabbi for you You donrsquotjust want a rabbi who is willing toofficiate you want the right rabbi theone who will officiate a ceremonythat will leave you and your familieswith pleasant and wonderful lastingmemories Compromising on qualityis just not an option So what shouldyou look for to make sure you havefound the right person The most important thing is to makesure that you find a rabbi who is trulyinterested in you as a couple andmakes it clear in word and action thatthe wedding is about you and thecelebration of your love for eachother He or she should take time toget to know you as individuals and asa couple After all how can awedding ceremony be personalized towho you are if your rabbi does nottake the time to get to know you aspersons He or she should besomeone who is warm friendly trulypassionate about people someonewith a good sense of humor who doesnot take him or herself too seriouslyThis will help him or her create withyou a ceremony that has that sought-after blend of seriousness andlightheartedness something thatsometimes eludes officiants The ideal rabbi is the one who willbuild the ceremony around you nottry to fit or ldquoshoehornrdquo you into apreconceived notion of a ceremonythat he or she already has The rightrabbi is someone whom you wonrsquothesitate to tell what you want andwith whom you feel comfortablesharing what you donrsquot want He or

she shou ld be the re fo r youthroughout the process of preparationand obviously the wedding itself andshould be just an email or a phonecall away One rabbi personallycommits to couples that he will returnemails or phone calls within 24 hours(unless he is officiating outside thecountry) since he understands thatplanning a wedding can be sometimesstressful and that prompt replies canhelp alleviate some of the stress Creating the Ceremony of YourDreams with Your Rabbindash The rabbishould have a plan for the preparationand creation of your ceremony andshould be able to lay it out clearly foryou You want to feel confident thatthe rabbi will stay on top of things Atthe same time he or she needs to beflexible enough to adjust that plan toyour needs and your schedule whilekeeping the ball rolling all the same Ideally this plan should consist ofthree or four meetings where you andyour rabbi carefully develop yourceremony The first meeting shouldfocus first and foremost on gettingto know each other It should be atthat time that the rabbi lays out thatclear plan for the development of theceremony That first meeting shouldinvolve many open-ended questionsgeneral and specific about what youwant to see in your ceremony It is agood sign if you answer many ofthese questions with ldquoWow that is agood question we need to think aboutthatrdquo because that means that youwill think about it It is really helpfulif the rabbi can supply you with asummary of the meet ing thathighlights those items you wanted tothink about The rabbi should alsosuggest a book or two that can helpyou learn more about interfaithce remonies to ass i s t you indeveloping your ceremony togetherwith your rabbi During the meetings that follow asyou work together with the rabbiwith his or her guidance thingsshould gradually gel and fall intoplace In the final meeting you shouldbe able to together review the entire

ceremony with a written copy basedon your discussions in front of you(One rabbi tries to email a draft tocouples a few weeks before the finalmeeting so they can actually beginthis discussion by email in advance ofthe final meeting) You should feelcomfortable to make any changesadditions or deletions that you feelare needed The rabbi should alsodiscuss technical details and pointersso there are no surprises and yourceremony goes smooth ly andseamless ly If you choose to have a co-officiantyou will of course want to meet withhim or her as well The rabbi shouldalso make sure that the co-officiant ispart and parcel of the ceremonyplanning process (Some co-officiantshave never co-officiated with a rabbibefore) You may even want to haveone meeting with both co-officiantstogether The Day of Your Dreams and HowYour Rabbi Can Help Make ItMagicalndash First of all an importanttechnical note ndash it should be obviousto your rabbi that he or she shouldarrive about 45-60 minutes before theceremony This enables him or her tomake sure that everything is in orderHopefully there are no last minutesurprises but if there are this willgive the rabbi sufficient time to dealwith these It is difficult to describe exactly whatthe day of your dreams will look likesince especially if your rabbifollowed the above steps your daywill look different from every otherbride and groomrsquos day That saidt h e r e a n u m b e r o f g e n e r a lcharacteristics that ideally everyceremony will include It is importantthat no one be ldquoin the darkrdquo and sothe r abb i shou ld o rgan ica l lyincorporate explanations of the ritualsand customs into the ceremony Thatway everyone will feel comfortableBlessings in Hebrew especially whenchanted (and then translated intoEnglish) add a unique flavor andrhythm to the ceremony Thereshould be as was mentioned abovejust the right mix of seriousness andlightheartedness There should betears of joy and also hearty laughterSince your rabbi spent time with youand got to know you he or she willbe able to share some personal andmeaningful remarks with you andyour family and friends Obviouslyalmost every ceremony will includethe fundamental customs associatedwith a wedding ceremony ndash readingsof your choice vows rings and thebreaking of the glass One rabbi has a number of specificcomponents that he loves to includethough he always reminds couplesthat what matters is what they likenot what he likes as it their wedding
