*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.
