In order to get genealogical information from Croatia, it is necessary to determine where the records you need are located. To do this you first write to the archive to inquire where the records are. After receiving a reply you send a letter to the address given to you by the archive. It may be possible for you to get information by writing. However, you can expect to wait several months for a reply and it is also quite possible, that you will not receive an answer. You may also try to e-mail your letter instead of mailing it. Use this e-mail address: '''hda@arhiv.hr'''
