Slavonia
Osijek, Požega, Đakovo, Vinkovci, Virovitica, Vukovar. Which empire held this ground in which years — and, the part that matters, which archive that means.
Whose archive this ground was

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.
