I have sent them some material in Russian and will advise on the outcome (March, 2005). Outcome: They never responded, even after numerous Inquiries (December, 2005).

Feminine Surnames
In the Modern-Day Slovak Language
English-speakers often confuse the feminine form of a surname as a distinct and separate family name (surname). In the Slovak Language, the feminine form of a surname usually is modified with a suffix. When searching for Slovak surnames, ensure that both forms are checked. As a general rule, names on forms written after 1918 use the Slovak style, while those prior most often used Magyar (Hungarian) language rules. |
