Answer 1

As far as I know, Serbia has never made most of its church records available online. FS has not been allowed to film or scan anything, and I do not know of any other website that has anything, either.

The Roman Catholic records are on FS because they're in Kalocsa, and Hungary made a records-preservation agreement with FS covering the pre-civil-registration church records.

Update: the Vojvodina archive has made scans available of the archive's copies of pre-1895 church registers (https://maticneknjige.org.rs/). The site requires registration, and only works if you set the site language to Serbian Cyrillic. (For viewing the images, if you have a touchscreen, you're forced to use that rather than your preferred pointing device.)

This link currently contains all the birth, baptism, marriage and death records written by churches in Vojvodina, Serbia, between 1765-1896.

Each document in this link represents a compilation of all available handwriting church yearbooks for birth/baptism/marriage/death in that particular village, between 1765-1895.

The bookmark section of each PDF allows you to jump to whichever religion, year and life event (birth, baptism, marriage, death) that you're interested in.

These documents were obtained from the Archives of Vojvodina.

Community assistance is needed to transcribe these handwritten records and obtain copyright clearance to allow them to be transmitted/replicated on FamilySearch, MyHeritage, Ancestry etc.

Please spread them far and wide. Make your own backup and upload them to other places on the internet to ensure they will never disappear. They must always be provided free to the world, with no restriction or cost, forever.

It took me several challenging weeks to collect and organise these records, but it was worth it.

You're welcome. Enjoy :)

Comments

No matter how selfless your motivations, unless you went to the archive and scanned/photographed the registers yourself, your compilation cannot have been achieved without blatant and deliberate violation of the Vojvodina Archive's terms of service.

The Vojvodina Archive's terms of service are completely irrelevant and have nothing to do with Serbian law.

---

Do you seriously believe that Serbian law disregards a Serbian website's Terms of Service?

The law you cite in a comment on the other thread is the one that's completely irrelevant. Webscraping -- no matter its motivations -- is Not A Good Thing.

Make up your mind. 

Is it illegal, or not?

• If so, prove it.
• If not, keep your opinions to yourself.

Either way, nobody is forcing you to use it. It has been made available so that anyone who wants to use it can use it.
