====Additional Online Records Listed in the FamlySearch Catalog ==== | |||
Slovakian church and synagogue records are still being added all the time. Many church records were microfilmed. Currently, these microfilms are being digitized, and plans are to complete that project by 2020. Some records will go directly to digitized form, skipping the microfilming step. Check back occasionally to see if your records have become available. <br> | |||
Records may be added to the Catalog that are not added to the Family Historical Records Collection yet. To find all the digitized records for your locality: | |||
:a. Use the '''Slovakian or Hungarian version of the name of the ''parish town''''' for your ancestors' religion. | |||
:b. Go to the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/search '''FamilySearch Catalog.'''] Enter either the ''Slovakian or Hungarian name'' of the town in the '''"Place"''' search field. Select the full place name from the drop down list of choices. | |||
:c. A list of record groups will appear for the town. Click on the '''"Church Records"''' topic. | |||
:d. Click on the links to specific record titles. The titles will list different religions and available time coverage. | |||
:e. In the film notes on the left, choose the correct '''event and time period''' for your ancestor. | |||
:f. Some combination of these icons will appear at the far right of the listing: [[File:FHL icons.png|100px]]. The '''magnifying glass''' indicates that the records are indexed (but possibly only partially). Clicking on the magnifying glass will take you to the index. Clicking on the '''camera''' will take you to an '''online, digital, browsable copy''' of the records. | |||
::*The microfilm icon appearing alone means the record is not digitized or indexed. It can be studied at the FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. You could also hire a professional researcher. Finally, check back frequently to see if it has been digitized. | |||

*The ethnic Ruthene (Ukrainian) population of Slovakia was '''Orthodox, using the Slavonic liturgy and ritual.''' This faith was not recognized by the Hapsburg government. To gain legal status and its accompanying freedoms and benefits, the Orthodox Ruthenians agreed in 1649 to recognize the jurisdiction of the pope. The resulting church, in union with the Roman-Catholic Church, was called '''Greek-Catholic.''' | *The ethnic Ruthene (Ukrainian) population of Slovakia was '''Orthodox, using the Slavonic liturgy and ritual.'''

In December of 1949, all church vital records were declared state property. In 1952 the state began centralizing all these records into state archives (''štátné archívy''). In many cases records as late as the 1940s have been placed in state regional archives. Registers more recent than those in the state archives are still at l'''ocal city or subdistrict registration''' offices (''matričné úrady''). | In December of 1949, all church vital records were declared state property.
