Religious Records of Slovakia on FamilySearch with Mary Ann Evans

FamilySearch has available online a collection of birth, marriage, and death records from the archives of Slovakia. These include records of several Christian faiths as well as Jewish records. The goal of this presentation is to demonstrate how to use this collection most efficiently and most effectively. As a foundation, we will review some critical information that will help you to find the specific records of interest, including historical boundaries, religious administrative structures, likely locations of historical records, and resources for determining the ecclesiastical jurisdictions where the records were created and where they are most likely to be found today. Searches will be demonstrated, and advantages and disadvantages of various approaches will be presented. Presenter: Mary Ann Evan’s first taste of family history was as a child in Cleveland, listening to the stories that her grandparents, immigrants from Poland, told about life in “the old country.” As time went by, she was able to trace her grandparents’ lines back to the 1700s, visit all four ancestral villages, and contact many family members still in Poland. Mary Ann has volunteered at the Kensington Family History Center for nearly 30 years, assisting not only people of Polish ancestry but others from diverse backgrounds, with a specialization in Eastern European countries. She has made research trips to Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. Mary Ann has also made presentations at genealogy conferences and is presently facilitating an Eastern European Interest Group at the Kensington FHC. In her professional life, Mary Ann taught for 25 years and then moved into the world of computers, where she has worked for more than 30 years, most recently in IT security.
