Croatia Church Books - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Known Issues
Question #1: When trying to view the images in this collection, I get a black page instead of the image. How can I view the image? Answer #1: When the image comes up as a black screen, but you can see the details at the top of the viewing window, it means that the pixel size is too large for the Image Viewer. However, you can use the “+” and “-“signs on the sizing tool to adjust the image size and bring it up. You can also use the cursor, by pressing the left mouse button, to move the image up and down on the screen.

Question #2: When searching Croatia, Church Books, 1516-1949 &gt; Roman Catholic (Rimokatolička crkva) &gt; Prelog, sometimes the type of records and year ranges are incorrect. How do I find the records I am searching? Answer #2: The following gives what type and year ranges are found under which waypoint:


 * Croatia, Church Books, 1516-1949 &gt; Roman Catholic (Rimokatolička crkva) &gt; Prelog &gt; Births (Rođeni) 1881-1887, 1868-1906 actually contains Births (Rođeni) 1881-1887, Marriages (Vjenčani) 1868-1906
 * Croatia, Church Books, 1516-1949 &gt; Roman Catholic (Rimokatolička crkva) &gt; Prelog &gt; (Rođeni) 1913-1942 Marriages (Vjenčani) 1895-1918, 1926, 1941-1942 actually contains Births (Rođeni) 1913-1942, Marriages (Vjenčani) 1895-1918, 1926. There are no Marriages (Vjenčani) 1940 and 1941.

Question #3: When searching this collection for Vukovar, marriage registers for 1758-1828, I cannot find them. How do I find these records? Answer #3: You will find those records under Sotin, Births (Rođeni) 1758-1828.

Question #4: When searching waypoint Roman Catholic (Rimokatolička crkva)&gt; Skitača, Sv. Lucija &gt;Births (Rođeni) 1714-1815, I find records from Sv. Nedescina, Nedjelja. Where can I find the records for this type and year range for Skitača, Sv. Lucija? Answer #4: This section of the records was erroneously placed with this Skitača, Sv. Lucija collection. You may find some of these records in the other three Births (Rođeni) titles. There is no separate section for Births (Rođeni) 1714-1815.

Question #5: Sometimes when I search this collection, it seems pages are missing. Are they available somewhere else?

Question #6: When searching Croatia, Church Books, 1516-1949 - Roman Catholic (Rimokatolička crkva), Sinj, Births (Rođeni) 1765-1830, 1824-1830, I am looking for birth records from 1879 – 1903 as the label states, but I cannot find 1886. Where will I find the information I am searching? Answer #6: The collection is a series of groups of birth records, putting the dates out of order. The complete date range is from 1879-1903, as specified in the title. You need to search for the general date area, then search individually through the collection until you find the dates.
