Key question: What RELIGION?
Slovak Telephone White Pages
As Zlatica has said, you might find relatives in Slovakia who have a telephone by looking them up in the phone book white pages athttp://www.zoznamst.sk/eng/index.htmlhttp://www.zoznamst.sk/eng/index.html using (at least) the first three letters of the family name and the area code 058.
Slivensky appears 3X, Marton 1X.

Church Records at LDS Family History Center
When searching for genealogical information, knowing the birth village is paramount because records are organized by village not nationally, so it is not possible to search on a national basis. It is also necessary to knowthe religion. Assume RC.
To locate church records for Slovakia, knowing the village/town name, go to the LDS web site: www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp
LDS has Roman Catholic parish registers of baptisms, marriages and deaths for Dobšina, Slovakia, formerly Dobsina, Gömör, Hungary.

Locate your nearest Family History Center and Order Film
You can go to the LDS web site to locate your nearest Family History Center (FHC) and determine their hours of operation. You will need to go there in person to order the film(s). In about a month, the film will arrive and you can book a film reader and begin your research.
Translation of Church Records
Checkout http://www.bmi.net/jjaso/http://www.bmi.net/jjaso/ for parish record header translations.
LDS also has a pretty good translation guide which you can download. See forums.delphiforums.com/iarelative/messages message #3931.1 for details.
1910 Hungarian Map
The old Hungarian map can be found at: http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910/gomork.jpghttp://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910/gomork.jpg
Look in the upper-right olive/brown area for Dobsina.
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 get a corner. This map uses the Hungarian village names that you will likely find in church records.
There you have 250 years of family history. Happy squinting.
