  • Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm.
  • If you plan to visit a repository, contact them and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
  • Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the FamilySearch Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.

In Slovakia there are several types of genealogical repositories:

  • National Archives
  • Regional Archives
  • City Archives
  • Military Archives
  • Church Archives
  • Church Parish Offices
  • University and Public Libraries
  • Historical and Genealogical Societies

Regional Archives[edit | edit source]

The seven state archives are the repositories for most pre-1900 parish books and, therefore, are the archives of primary importance to Slovak genealogical researchers. In addition to early parish books, the state archives house an enormous amount of important material including early cadastral records, maps, architectural plans, historical documents, court records, administrative papers, etc. For contact information please click here.

Record Offices[edit | edit source]

Registers more recent than those in the state archives are still at local city or subdistrict civil registration offices (matričné úrady).

  • Study MATRIČNÝ ÚRAD - Slov-Lex, a directory of municipality civil registrars (here listed as matrimonial offices, but they handle births and deaths also.) Use your computer's "Find" function to navigate the list. The left column lists registrars; the right column lists towns served by that registrar. The list shows which municipal office covers smaller villages.
  • Send requests to:
Matričné Úrad
(Zipcode) (Town)
Slovakia
  • A form for requesting records, information on payment, and other details can be found in the Slovakia Letter Writing Guide. Use the address above, not the archive address shown on the form.
  • You can arrange an international bank order or electronic transfer through Western Union or MoneyGram. Do not send money until the office notifies you of their fees and preferred payment method.
