Help finding a town in Western Croatia?

Hello Dome, I see that you contribute on hr. I was wondering, can you help me find the following town in Croatia: Đak-Selci ? This is to help with the Anton Geiser article. He was born there, when it was Yugoslavia. But I cannot find it on a map. It is small, I think. I think it may be in Western Croatia? If you can help I would appreciate it.

Thank you, Eniagrom (talk) 19:39, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for the information! The only thing that is confusing to me: the sources I have for the town (which are US sources) say the town is in western Croatia, but the town of Đakovo seems to be in eastern Croatia. Could there be another Đak-Selci somewhere? It is possible that the US sources are incorrect ...

Thanks again for your help. Eniagrom (talk) 13:20, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. Yes, you are right, the particular source we footnoted does not say Western Croatia. However, some of the other sources do:

Geiser was born Oct. 17, 1924, in Djak-Selci, a town of about 1,600 in what is now in the western part of Croatia. He was reared on a farm, without electricity or machinery, that grew wheat, corn and potatoes. He had one brother and three sisters. [1]
Geiser is an ethnic German who grew up in a part of Yugoslavia that is now in western Croatia. He was drafted into the German army at age 17 and made a member of the Waffen SS under a German policy of conscripting ethnic Germans into military service. [2]

However, both of these sources are by the same author. It seems likely that he simply misunderstood -- your explanation (western Yugoslavia) seems much more likely. Eniagrom (talk) 20:22, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've copied our conversation into Talk:Anton Geiser

Dome, I hope you don't mind, but I've changed the Anton Geiser article to reflect our discussion and I've taken the liberty of copying our above conversation onto the talk page so that others understand why the article now says eastern Croatia instead of western. Thanks so much for your help again. Eniagrom (talk) 05:08, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
