 ==Accessing the Records==
 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 local city or subdistrict registration offices ''matričné úrady''.
-These records are the prime source for information about the vital events in an individual's life. This information can be used to compile pedigrees and family groups. They identify children, spouses, parents, and often grandparents as well as dates and places of vital events. They establish individual identity and are excellent sources for linking generations and identifying relationships.
