Bill Tarkulich's Eastern Slovakia (Východoslovenský) & Environs Genealogy Research Strategies Developing effective approaches to ancestral research in Eastern Slovakia
 | | Ahoj (Hello)! These pages provide strategy assistance to English-speaking researchers of Eastern Slovakia immigrants. This collection also provides a contemporary and historical perspective of the region through essays, documents and photographs. 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. |
