Slovenia is organized like New England townships with surrounding countryside and small towns attached to a larger town. Today there are 210 of these ''občinas''. There are at least two names for every town in Slovenia—a Slovene and German name. It is important to know both names. | |||

There are two volumes of my favorite Slovenian Gazetteer/Map books in the FHL-SLC. It is the Slovenija na vojakem zemljevidu, 1763-1787 : Opisi=Josephinische Landesaufnahme für das Gebiet der Republik Slowenien, 1763-1787:Landes-beschreibung von Vincene Raj. Military description of localities in the ordnance survey mandated and carried out under the reign of Joseph II of Austria. Description is arranged by map section number, with an index to localities. Text is in German and Slovenian. FHL book call no. EUR 949.73 E5r 1995 and 949.73 E5r 1995 vol. 2. This is an excellent and easy to use gazetteer/map set. The Gazeteer gives both the Slovene and German names for every place and can be looked up in the index under either name. These beautiful detailed maps give place names in German. These maps are an excellent source to find where the churches, sanitary district, etc. as given in the Gemeindelexicon der Reichsrat. Unfortunately, the FHL has only Vol. 1 and 2. They cover the south center and center of Slovenia. At last check even these two were in high density and missionaries were not able to retrieve them for me. They need to be removed from high density and the other volumes need to be purchased as they are invaluable. | There are two volumes of my favorite Slovenian Gazetteer/Map books in the FHL-SLC.
