I trust you are already aware of "Nazvy obci Slovenskej Republiky" (NAMES OF VILLAGES, SLOVAK REPUBLIC), Milan Majtan, 1997. This book identifies all the names and locations for all Slovakia villages from year 1773 to 1997. This is probably the most reliable method of obtaining the various place names. This publication is still in print available for sale from a number of sources. It uses a format similar to yours. Regards, Bill Tarkulich -----Original Message----- From: Frank R. Plichta [mailto:plichta@valink.com] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 1:35 PM To: SLOVAKIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Surname and Location Listings to Aid Research I have struggled with the location names because our area of interest has changed hands so many times throughout history that the place names changed. Different individuals will know the same location by different location names depending when their ancestors came to America. I think that a special listing of all Slovakia locations and the individuals researching surnames at each location would be very helpful in connecting with others that are researching the same surnames or other names in the same location. In my own research, I have decided to use the place name that was in general use at the time that the event I am recording happened. For example, someone was born when one name was used, married when it was called something else and die when it had another name without ever leaving the village, i.e., Belá, Kingdom of Hungary; Belá, Czecho-Slovakia; Kosická Belá, Czechoslovakia, and Kosická Belá, Slovakia. * * * * * * * * * * For a LOCATION list I recommend a list with the current location name first, followed by the previous names used and the dates that each alternate name was first used, i.e., 1. Kosická Belá (Sk), Kassabela (Mad'): Kosická Belá (1920), Bela (1650), Zentve'rke'pe (1630), Hansdorff (1580), Szentuerkepe (1553), Zenthwerfalwa (1505), Janusffalwa, al. n. Zenthwer (1440), villa Johannis (1379) and flumen Bela (1297). plichta@valink.com <mailto:plichta@valink.com> 2.

Anyone tracing their line directly beyond those dates, needs to go to the head of the class and help the rest of us struggling with the early 1700's. It would take some time to compile the place name lists but the research benefits would be substantial to everyone researching in Slovakia. * * * * * * * * * * For a SURNAME list I recommend a list with the Surname, the location's current name and the email address: 1.

Hello, Interested in the following families from Sztropkov ( formerly Sztropko): RUDI / RUDY BALOGH HUMENICK FLESHAR Joseph Rudi immigrated in 1903 to Northeastern Pennsylvania. He adopted the surname spelling of Ruddy. His brothers John and Stephen appear to have also immigrated to this area. Joseph married Mary Mingloski in Plymouth, Luzerne County, PA. Her parents were John & Mary Irene Olenick Mingloski. Mingloski has also been spelled Wengloski, Venglosky, & many other variations! American censuses indicate they immigrated around 1886 & they're listed as Slovak or Ruthenian. Thanks, Cindi Ruddy Zimmerman
