Ahoj! Hello! These pages provide strategy assistance to English-speaking researchers of immigrants
from the regions of present-day Slovak Republic (Slovakia). This collection also provides a contemporary and historical perspective of the region through essays, documents and photographs.
My geographic focus is on Eastern Slovakia (Slovak Republic) / formerly Czechoslovakia / formerly Upper Hungary. Primary research areas include the peoples and lands in the Carpathian mountains and immediate borderlands of Southern Poland (Galicia) and Western Ukraine (Carpatho-Rus). As Slovakia was a component of pre-1918 Hungary, much information about "old Hungary" is contained herein and will be useful for any pre-1918 Hungary research. |
If you are new to genealogy research I recommend you start with Welcome and
Strategy.
