I couldn't find any nearby families named Majersky (a Majercin family lives in Zalobin), but the online telephone directory for Slovakia does list a few families named Hornak still living in Mala Domasa:

http://telefonny.zoznam.sk/hladaj.fcgi?co=telzoznam&typ=R&s=Hornak&mesto=Mala+Domasa&ulica=&psc=&uto=&net_fixed=1&net_mobile=1&net_alt=1

Note that the Slovak spelling of the name has no "y" but has instead a small "v" over the "n" that softens its pronunciation, as though a "y" were there. The root of the name is the Slovak "hore," meaning up; it means either someone who lives up on the hill/mountain or in the upper end of a village. The root of Majersky is "majer," Slovak for manor/estate or the small settlement that grew around it, and means someone "from" (the "-sky" part) such an estate.

You may at some point want to write to the Hornak families in Mala Domasa, as they are probably at least distant relatives.
