I am searching for names of Slovenian parishes whose records maybe held in Austria. I believe I read there are a few of these. I think this happened when the borders were drawn after WWI. I am not able to locate my Grandfathers birth record and do not know where he was born. I have reason to believe he was near Graz but born in Slovenia. Any ideas? "She is insane, of course. The family history has become a mania for her." Hercule Poirot

Perhaps you contact the archive of diocese of Styria (province of Austria, the southern part belongs since 1918 to Slovenia): http://www.graz-seckau.at/dioezesanarchiv/index.php There is also list of the parish-records online: http://www.graz-seckau.at/dioezesanarchiv/Matrikenkatalog2010.doc -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: slovenia-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:slovenia-bounces@rootsweb.com] Im Auftrag von Kathy Patrick Gesendet: Sonntag, 24.
