To locate places in Europe, especially if you are not sure of the proper spelling of the place name, the best reference is found at http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htmhttp://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm
ShtetlSeeker will take you there via Mapquest.
The old Hungarian map can be found at:
http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910/zemplen.jpghttp://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910/zemplen.jpg
SAVE the map on YOUR computer. OPEN the map in any graphics program. CUT and PRINT the relevant section of the map. Otherwise, you just a get a corner. This map uses the Hungarian village names that you will find in church records. (Upper right, pink area).
To locate church records for Slovakia, knowing the village/town name, go to the LDS web site: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asphttp://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp
LDS has Greek Catholic parish registers of baptisms, marriages and deaths for Kolonica, Slovakia, formerly Kolonica, Zemplén, Hungary.
