 | Slovakia was part of the Hungarian Kingdom until 1918. Record-keeping for Civil Registration was uniform throughout the kingdom. For images and more information about civil registration in the Hungarian Kingdom, see [[Hungary Civil registration]] page. One of the main reasons for the introduction of Hungarian civil registration in 1895 was the conflict in the late 1800s over the baptism of children of mixed marriages. In 1921 registration by civil authorities was enacted into law throughout the new Czechoslovak Republic.    |  | Slovakia was part of the Hungarian Kingdom until 1918.
