What Has Been Searched
27 register pages read across eight books and five parishes, yielding 184 named people. This page exists so that a null is not lost: knowing a volume has been read, or has not, is worth as much as knowing what it held.
Why record the negatives
An archive that publishes only its finds is unreadable as evidence. If you cannot tell a gap from an absence, every silence looks the same — and this archive has already mistaken one for the other. The name-reuse table shows the Papići with zero infant deaths implied by a reused name and the village families with nine, and reads that as meaning the Papići's losses were written down. That is only true because somebody opened the Senj death register and nobody has opened the Krmpote one. The table is a map of where the reading went, not of where children died.
So: 27 pages, and the books they came out of — beside what has never been touched.
Senj marriages 11 pages
| Years opened | 1909 – 1919 |
|---|---|
| Pages | p.303, 307, 315, 322, 324, 326, 333, 348, 350, 355, 359 |
| What it gave | Eleven marriages of this family, and every other bride on each page. The tobacco factory counted across a decade — 3 of 5 brides in 1909, rising to 7 of 8 in 1919. |
| Not opened | No Blažević marriage before 1909 has been opened, and the 1920 entry that answers question 1 was read from a thumbnail. |
Senj deaths 2 pages
| Years opened | 1903, 1907 |
|---|---|
| Pages | p.162, p.225 |

| Not opened | Two pages of one register. Everything else in the Senj death books is unread. |
Senj baptisms 1 page
| Years opened | 1886 |
|---|---|
| Pages | str.122 |

| Not opened | Her eight siblings' baptisms are attached as images and unread. |
Krmpote — sv. Jakov, baptisms 2 pages
| Years opened | 1888, 1895 |
|---|---|
| Pages | p.104, p.168 |
| Shelfmark | HDA 111, HDA 176 |
| What it gave | Two children born at Smokvica kbr. 114 seven years apart, and two different men called Ivo Blažević standing godfather — one son of Mate, one son of Toma. |
| Not opened | This is the book that should hold every Blažević above Toma. Two pages of it have been opened. |
Krivi Put baptisms 1 page
| Years opened | 1859 |
|---|---|
| Pages | p.110 |
| Shelfmark | HDA 407 |

Otočac baptisms 2 pages
| Years opened | 1834, 1845 |
|---|---|
| Pages | 1834, 1845 |
| What it gave | Nicolaus at Šumećica 24, Confiniarius; Josephus in 1845 to a mother née Marković where the 1834 mother is née Orešković. Five Žubrinić Frontier offices out of the godparent columns. |
| Not opened | The marriage and death registers — the two books that would settle whether there are one or two men called Michaël Žubrinić. |
Karlobag baptisms 7 pages
| Years opened | 1754 – 1838 |
|---|---|
| Pages | 1754, 1768, 1777, 1779 (×2), 1781, 1838 |
| What it gave | Every Karlobag ancestor. The Dominus honorific, a Giustiniani godfather, a Pro-Colonel, a Captain, a Baron von Holstein — and one book kept in Croatian rather than Latin. |
| Not opened | Nothing outstanding on this line. This is the best-read parish in the archive. |
Vrbnik baptisms 1 page
| Years opened | 1806 |
|---|---|
| Pages | house 244 |
| What it gave | Josephum Antić — and the underlined nadimci that answered question 5: Antich Papa, Loncsarich Franich, Antich Dudin. |
| Not opened | The Selce registers 1765–1838, which would show the surname change generation by generation. |
What to ask for first, and why it changed
Until 13 September 2026 the priority here was to confirm — to find the register entry behind a date the tree already gives. That was the wrong order, and one measurement changed it.
Strip the sorting labels out of the tree and only 32% of the published people are still connected to Hedviga at all. For the Žubrinići it is 5% — 21 people out of 414. Confirming a date this archive already holds adds nothing to that number. Joining one fragment to the line adds a branch.
So the first ask is no longer a birth entry. It is a marriage, for one of the 34 Žubrinić fragments that carry enough detail to be searched for — a marriage names both parents and is the cheapest way to attach a whole household.

The books nobody has opened at all
Named because an unasked archive is not a finding, and because each of these would answer something this site currently marks unknown.
| Book | What it would settle |
|---|---|
| Krmpote / Smokvica death registers | Whether the Blaževići really lost fewer children than the Papići, or whether nobody has looked. The reuse table depends on this. |
| Otočac marriages, before 1834 and c. 1855–70 | Whether there are one or two men called Michaël Žubrinić — which decides four generations. Question 4d. |
| Otočac deaths, 1834–1845 | A Maria Žubrinić née Orešković, which would explain a second wife. |
| Selce registers, 1765–1838 | The surname changing from Antić to Papić generation by generation — three of the four steps are documented and the middle one is not. |
| Sv. Jakov Krmpote, 1855–1892 | Jurko Blažević's baptism or marriage. Either names his father and ends question 1b. |
| Senj deaths, 1915 | How Milka came to be widowed at twenty-eight. |
| Senj baptisms, Jan–Feb 1895 | Two sisters recorded eighteen days apart. Both entries fall in the same book within three weeks. Question 5b. |
| Southern Rhodesian immigration, 1953–65 | Twenty-two years of Hedviga's life, and an entire country known from two words on a later record. Question 1f. |
What that leaves
39 of the 70 people on the direct line have no document of their own — they are named in somebody else's record, or the tree asserts them and nothing else does. Read the evidence column down the generations and it stops at the sixth.
