Village of Hrastovac

As your Village Coordinator for the Danube Swabian village of HRASTOVAC, also known under its German name of EICHENDORF, I would like to welcome you to our pages. Hrastovac was a thriving village during the period of  its original ethnic German inhabitants and deserves to have its memory kept alive.

Only a few years ago finding any ancestral information on that  village involved a major undertaking. First the City Hall was telephoned to  find out if the registry books were available and where they were kept. The telephone call was followed with letters to the "maticni ured" (vital registry office) in Garesnica, today's district city hall, then to the archives in  Bjelovar, Osijek and Zagreb, followed by more calls, faxes and e-mails until a break-through was reached.

The following pages hopefully will save you, dear reader, all of those steps. All the information on Hrastovac and its branch  parishes until ca. 1900 is gathered here for you. For more recent data, because  of the international privacy laws, you will have to write directly to the city hall in Garesnica, Croatia.

 
For any questions or suggestions please contact me directly.
