#There may not have been a local church for your ancestors' religion right in their town. In the left sidebar of the town's page in [http://www.cisarik.com/0_all-villages-A.html '''Genealogy Slovakia Gazetteer'''], you will find notes on where that village would have attended church for each denomination.
