Serbia. Article 23. Resident Card and Home municipality
I have many records - especially Nazi records - saying that my great grandfather was Serbian. But, I don't have his resident card (Karton Žitelja) or know his home parish/municipality (Zavičaj). I have his baptismal record from 1875. But, his father was a low-level official who moved around for his employer. I also have from Belgrade in 1924 and 1944 his address registrations, which are in difficult to read handwriting.
Do I understand correctly: the 1924 and 1944 address registrations can be used to find his Karton Žitelja? And, his Karton Žitelja can be used to find his Zavičaj?
He was born inside the borders of present day Serbia near Vrsac. My grandmother was born in a different place near Vrsac. She was 16 in 1918 when her citizenship would have been derived from her fathers. But she was then in the USA where she was taken by her mother after her parents separated.
So my grandmother was a citizen of Yugoslavia who was born inside the present day borders of Serbia to a father who was an ethnic Serb. She emigrated as a child to the USA. So Article 23 applies. It really is this generous.
