Kovačina
A family that married into our own direct line.
Uršula Kovačina, born about 1890, married Anton Rudolf Defranceski — our fifth generation, the one taken to Pfullingen.
What is held
- Her own birth record has not been found. She is the nearest wall in the direct line and the only mother in eight generations whose origin is blank.
Searched beyond the parish books
Nothing. She has not been searched for outside the Croatian books.
Where to look next
She married a man of Klenovica, in the Hungarian Littoral, about 1912–24. If she was local, she is in Hungarian-administered parishes and possibly in Hungarian civil paperwork. Of all the names on this page, hers is the one where a new jurisdiction is most likely to break a wall in our own line.
The jurisdiction this family sits in
The Hungarian Littoral
Fiume (Rijeka) · Bakar (Buccari) · the Vinodol — Klenovica, Crikvenica, Ledenice, Novi · Senj
- Who held it
- Hungarian crown land, not Austrian — a separate legal world with its own ministries, budgets and civil service.
- The registers
- Državni arhiv u Rijeci and the parish books.
- Beyond the registers
- Hungaricana — free, full-text, and the single most under-used source this archive has. State final accounts naming pensioners and their orphans; parliamentary pension schedules with years of service; the National Archives of Hungary plan collection. This is where the office-holders are, and they are in none of the Austrian or Croatian portals.
- Where this archive stands
- Barely begun. Opened for the first time on 13 September 2026.
