Državni arhiv u Pazinu
The Pazin State Archive, which holds the parish registers of central Istria. They will search, certify and post a named record for a fee. Its registers are also filmed as the ZM34K series, supplied as page images. Two of those reels were mapped frame by frame on 30 September 2026 and their contents recorded, because the archive's own paper inventory proved unreliable for them: ZM34K-214 and ZM34K-215 together run M01068774-M01070236 (1,463 contiguous frames) and hold THIRTEEN books - Cerovlje status animarum XIX-XX c.; Gologorica baptisms 1764-1788, 1770-1781, 1784-1880 and 1940-1948, deaths 1646-1806 and 1784-1880, marriages 1770-1789, and status animarum for 1826, 1862, 1894 and 1921; and Gracisce baptisms 1667-1745 with confirmations 1690-1694, and baptisms 1746-1840. TWO TRAPS. The paper inventory's section headings file both Gracisce books under a GOLOGORICA heading, and it stops the Gracisce baptisms at 1780 when the film's own title card says 1840. LINDAR IS NOT ON THESE TWO REELS - it is on ZM34K-219 and 220. Each book is preceded by a printed title card naming the zupa, the register and the years; that card, not the inventory, is the authority.

The ground it holds
Record regions whose registers are filed here, and for which years.
- 1374–1805 Habsburg — County of Pazin
- 1805–1815 Napoleonic — Illyrian Provinces
- 1815–1918 Austria–Hungary — Küstenland
- 1918–1943 Italy — Provincia dell'Istria — THE TRAP. Records of these years are filed under ITALY, not Croatia — FamilySearch's Italy, Pola and Trieste collection (2152685) holds Croatian parishes. Searching the Croatian collection alone finds nothing.
- 1943–1945 Adriatisches Küstenland
- 1945–1991 Yugoslavia — SR Croatia
- 1991–2026 Croatia — Istria County
- 1331–1797 Republic of Venice — Istria da Mar
