a very helpful way to find the different certificates in slovenia ist to know where to look for them - as a help for austrian family-researcers, since all the village's names changed after WWI, a (i think) 2 volume-book was edited on all the slovene parishes and its "stock" on birth/christening-, weddings-, death-books. content: which volumes (with the years indicated) are still available (some dissappeared, were destroyed) - and where to find them, in the village (parish,...) or in the diocesan-archives (ljublijana, maribor,...) there is also an german-slovene-index of the villages/towns.... i used this helpful book once (an edition exists in the roman-catholic diocesan-archive of graz, austria) you can see immediately where to find which volumes of a parish in slovenia - and in the archive i had just to tell them the reason of my research and to compile a form, of course i had to make an appointment because they were limited with tables/chairs. regards, georg [email protected] wrote: > ATTACHMENT part 1 message/rfc822 SLOVENIA-D Digest Volume 02 : Issue 44 Today's Topics: #1 Vinko Slopsek [[email protected] (Connie)] #2 Thanks to Puz!
