My mother is now 101 years old and still alert and wondering if I will find anything about her father Vladimir Rabe. I found a record in the Digital Repository of the Historical Archives of Belgrade and am not sure how to further research these. Can anyone assist in my endeavour?

What have you already tried?

This seems to be his profile on Geni: Vladimir Rabe

ancestry https://www.ancestry.com/genealogy/records/vladimir-rabe-24-1k2g1gg

Vladimir Rabe’s details from Belgrade-Translation of the document received.

Np. Numara 73 (Apartment Number 73)
Pađe Vladimir (Rabe Vladimir - likely the person being registered)
чит. пенз. žup. држ. жел. (čit. penz. žup. drž. žel. - abbreviation, likely meaning "retired railway official of the county")
Београд (Beograd - Belgrade)
28.IX-895 (28th of September 1895 - Date of birth)
Панчево срес (Pančevo district - Place of birth district)
Ковињ (Kovin - Place of birth town)
Аустроугарска (Austrougarska - Austro-Hungary - Country of birth)
Ковињ (Kovin - Native municipality)
Аустроугарска (Austrougarska - Austro-Hungary - Native country)
ожењен (oženjen - married - Marital status)
православна (pravoslavna - Orthodox - Religion)
Теодор (Teodor - Father's first name)
Елена (Elena - Mother's first name)
This document appears to be a registration form, likely for residency in a hotel or similar establishment in Belgrade. It contains personal information about the individual named Rabe Vladimir.
I want to find the names of his children if any and peruse through their archives.

It even has the first names of his parents, cool!

Kovin is the name of a town now in Banat, Vojvodina, Serbia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kovin .

Pančevo is a larger town nearby https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pančevo . That whole area used to be part of Hungary before 1918.

Do you know why the document says he was born in Kovin rather than in Russian empire, which the Geni and Ancestry profiles say? I.e., I wonder if it's the same person.

Hi Dimitri,
I am glad you are optimistic about my research results trying to find out who was Vladimir Rabe. I have received the following archives detail www.arhivsrbije.rs but cannot see how to research this archive. If you have a suggestion how to use it, it would be very welcome.
Best Regards
Michael
