===Finding the Name of the Town Where Your Ancestors Worshipped=== | |||
But, in order to find church records, you might even use a different town's name! The town where your ancestor lived might not have had a local church for every religion. For example, if the town only had a Catholic church, your Lutheran ancestors may have attended the Lutheran church in a neighboring town. You will need to look for the records under this neighboring town's name. | |||

* In the left sidebar of the town's page in [http://www.cisarik.com/0_all-villages-A.html '''Genealogy Slovakia Gazetteer'''], you will find notes on where that village would have attended church for each denomination. | |||
*If the denomination is given in capital letters, such as "LUTH", then the town had its own local church for that religion. | |||
* Be sure to look at the top section of the left sidebar on '''"Top Sightseeings",''' where it will list the local churches and the year they were built. ''Sometimes this is the only indication of churches in that town.'' | |||
*Towns along the border may have attended a church in Hungary to find the religion of their choice. | |||
