“Sveti Juraj” enters the record as settlement in the Town of Senj, Lika-Senj County, Croatia. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Sveti, Juraj and settlement can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Sveti Juraj” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Sveti, Juraj and settlement provides the most credible route into that argument.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 10, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q916544. VIAF identifies the subject as 233909691. Authority coordinates are 44.926, 14.919. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1935, 2019 and 2020.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
