To Ron and all genealogy researcher in this list: MarktTuffer is an old name for town Lasko (with a carron on the s). You can check this on site: http://genealogy.ijp.si/Kraji/Rihtarsic/ On the beginning of the page hit Ctrl + F and the Find application will appear; Write the word "Markt" and you will see the answer you are looking for. I use this site occasionally and I must say it is quite useful. Than you can go on site, which I found it before few days ago: http://212.103.140.243/nvatlas/ and I assure you THIS SITE IS AMAZING! 1. On first page hit on "S pogoji uporabe se strinjam" (I agree with conditions of usage) 2. On the second page click on the top of page on "Iskanje" (Search) 3. On the bottom you will find the area with name "Iskanje po zemljepisnem imenu" (Search by the geographic name). Write down the name of town, you are searching for. But, be accurate! Town Lasko for example (or any other name) must be write down properly: Lasko (with a carron on the s). 4. Click on button "Isci" (Search) 5. You can get a few (depending of name, which can be a river or village or even a hill) results, but you should click on link with the name "Naselje, mesto" (town, village) 6. The map will appear and now you have possibility to click on button on the top of page "Povecava" (increase). You can hit this button several times. I hope I explain this procedure properly and will this sites serve to you in the manner of pleasure. daniela from sLOVEnia RPOZIN wrote: > > I am researching my grandfather (Johan P Bezgovsek's) birthplace, 6 Dec 1892: Markt Tuffer, Austria. > I have made contact with a very friendly Slovenian who informs me that Markt Tuffer, Austria is present day Lasko, Slovenia. He's been very friendly and helpful but so far I haven't been able to get any documentary evidence that Markt Tuffer is actually Lasko. Can anyone advise me of where I might find written records correlating Mart Tuffer and Lasko as the same location. I would like to see a map or Gazetteer or any other record that connects them. > Thanks, > Ron Pozin
