Gary I have my mother's Czech dictionary here somewhere. I couldn't put my hands on it just now, but will look again when I get off line. .......Audrey

Hi James: Why do you choose to respond to a question concerning Slovak language, when you don't know anything about it ? It is absolute nonsence that "Pohlavie: muzske" is an obscene word. It is a common line in any questionaire, meaning "Sex: male". The second word "neuvedene" is indeed spelt correctly. It means "no response". So please, don't venture into the Slovak language and I promise I will not try Ukrainan.

A friend just asked me where he could get a Slovak - French Bilingual Dictionary. Supposedly, this cannot be found in Paris. Un ami frangais m'a demandi de poser cette question: ou peut-on trouver une dictionaire bilingue Slovak - Frangais. Cette ami a cherchi ` Paris mais n'a rien trouvi.

If any of these is one of your surnames & you know it is in or close to the area your family lived, feel free to send me a note & I'll give you whatever information I have about that person. Also, I will be making a fairly massive update to my site later this week, adding more than a thousand name & finally getting the non-genealogy stuff moved to a new site. That should make the genealogy site that much nicer to navigate. The URL is shown below.

In a previous article, [email protected] (Charles PAUFLER) says: >Please could you help me to translate : >" Pohlavie : muzski " >" Neuvedeni " > The first looks like "sex: male", though I can't vouch for your spelling, but it is very close to the Czech spelling, and I know that Czech and Slovak are similar. Sorry I can't help with neuvedeni. More context might help. -- Gary N. Deckant [email protected] Youngstown, Ohio

I am researching the following surnames: Kowalski, Piotrowska and Svekhovskaya. My father was born in Jacochow a small village near Warsaw in 1916. He has three brothers and one sister. His father Wladyslaw was born in 1887 possibly near Lipste. My grandmother Antonina Piotrowska was born in 1889 and died in 1924 or 1925 in Sadkowcie, located near the city of Skierniewice. My great grandfather Stanislaw Kowalski was born around 1861 and his wife Julianna Svekhovskaya was born around 1859. I would be glad to hear from anyone researching these surnames. Sincerely John Kowalski

Hello, I'm currently studying slavic history and was wondering if anyone knew of some good books concerning the origins of slavs and their migrations. I have read many books which have dealt with these issues in a general way, but seek more in depth information. Which slavs came first to Europe, the East, the West or the Southern Slavs? Thank You for nay information. Yarko Kit
