SLOVAK TELEPHONE WHITE PAGES
You might find relatives in Slovakia who have a telephone by looking them up in the phone book white pages athttp://www.zoznamst.sk/hladaj?co=st_zoznam_enhttp://www.zoznamst.sk/hladaj?co=st_zoznam_en
To use the search engine, you need to complete the first 5 letters of last name plus wild card *
In the 'Town' section use 00 and leave the area code blank to search all Slovakia.
The Slovak area code map is athttp://www.centroconsult.sk/facilities/phonemap.htmlhttp://www.centroconsult.sk/facilities/phonemap.html
Based on current Slovak phone listings, there is one possibility located in area code 043. The accented c has been changed so that it views correctly.
Frac'ek Štefan
Hranic'iarov 1219/33
Trstená
Zoldak(ova) appears in phone listings 39X but none are in area code 043.
Ellis Island suggests the following names:
Fracic
Fracsek
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 know the religion.
CURRENT MAP
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
ShtelSeeker will take you there via Mapquest.
