Dalmatia
Split, Omiš, Trogir, Seget. Which empire held this ground in which years — and, the part that matters, which archive that means.
Whose archive this ground was
| Years | Who held it | Whose archive that means |
|---|---|---|
| 1200–1420 | Hungarian–Croatian crown · the communes | no registers survive Before registers. |
| 1420–1797 | Republic of Venice — Dalmatia | Državni arhiv u Zadru · FamilySearch Venetian Dalmatia. Many parish books went to Zadar rather than Split, which is where a Split-only search fails. |
| 1797–1805 | Austria — first occupation | Državni arhiv u Zadru |
| 1805–1813 | French Illyria | Državni arhiv u Zadru |
| 1814–1918 | Austria — Kingdom of Dalmatia | Državni arhiv u Zadru · FamilySearch · ANNO — Austrian Newspapers Online Governed from Zadar, and its records went there. |
| 1918–1941 | Kingdom of Yugoslavia | Državni arhiv u Zadru · ARHiNET — Croatian State Archives |
| 1941–1943 | Italian Governatorate of Dalmatia | Državni arhiv u Zadru · Arolsen Archives A short Italian occupation with its own paperwork, easy to miss between two Yugoslav periods. |
| 1943–1945 | German occupation | Arolsen Archives |
| 1945–1991 | Yugoslavia — SR Croatia | ARHiNET — Croatian State Archives |
| 1991–2026 | Croatia — Split-Dalmatia | ARHiNET — Croatian State Archives |
The rings are approximate — deliberately. They exist to shade which filing system a place fell under, not to adjudicate a border. A place near a ring's edge should be checked against both neighbours.

The map takes a range, and a range that crosses one of the rows above is where records get lost: the family never moved, and the archive on the far side of the handover will tell you it holds nothing.
