In order to research your family in Slovakia, it is essential that you have identified the place where they came from. You must know the city, town, or parish that they came from. Many records are indexed, but some records will require going directly to photocopied local records, which are only available by town name. Therefore, you will need to search in United States (or other country of arrival) sources first. | In order to research your family in Slovakia, it is essential that you have identified the place where they came from.
