I'm trying to find information about a George Radosavljevic who was reportedly an officer in the Yugoslav army in WWII who spent time in a concentration camp there. I'm assuming he was arrested as a Chetnik, not a Jew.

What's the Serbian equivalent of "George"?
Is the naming convention there similar to here, or is his surname possibly different than that of his daughter (which is where I got the Radosavljevic)?

Thanks in advance.

Šorše (Djordje) is the Serbian equivalent. Good luck on your research!

Thanks, Dtown

No, Homer, not a chance. It turns out that the name Radosavljevic is a common one. On top of that the woman whose family I'm researching escaped Yugoslavia in 1946 and has no kids.
