INDEX FOR THE NARODNI ADRESAR

In 1937, Ivan Mladineo prepared a book, Narodni Adresar (National Directory of Croat, Slovene, and Serb Organizations), listing the officers of the fraternal organizations extant at that time. It was a snapshot of the times and the individuals who were officers of those organizations in 1937. This is an excellent early listing of all Yugoslavs in the U.S. and the fraternal organizations to which they belonged. Included are the four principal officers of each group: President, Vice president, Secretary, and Treasurer. Groups are listed by State, City, and fraternal organization. An excellent resource. If you find a reference to a surname you are researching you will need to contact JohnLipold to get a snapshot of that information. Of course, you can then write to the fraternal organization if they still exist and get documentation either from the group or their newspapers since many had official publications.
