The Slovak National Archives in Bratislava and the regional archives in Banska Bystrica,Bratislava, Bytca, Kosice, Levoca, Nitra, and Presov accept written and e?mail requests concerning extracts, copies and search from archival documents. Each ofthe regional archives (statny archivy) covers several areas identified as branches /pobocka. Inquiries directed to the National Archives are in turn referred to the appropriate regional archive, which will notify the researcher, typically in Slovak, whether records have been located. If the archive finds the information requested, the Slovak Embassy notifies theresearcher and indicatesthe required fee. (In Eastern Europe the custom is that govt institutions employeestake their vacations in August.Wait until late September/early October to submit your inquiry, so it does not get
lost due to vacation under-staffing.)

Additionally, I will also suggest an inquiry at the Bad Arolsen archives in Germanyonce you have a family tree.I need not tell you what happened to the Jewish population in this area.As much as many were sent to the Final Solution camps in Poland, there were some that escapedduring the trip and others that somehow managed to survive the camps.Right after WW2most Displaced People were heading for the Displaced People Camps in Germany. Once you have a better handle on your family members who were left behind at the turn of the century, consider making an inquiry at Bad Arolsen. Inquiry is free to immediate family members. The archives contain 50 million pages, housed in
thousands of filing cabinets in 6 buildings. Overall, there are 16 miles of shelves holding information about the victims of the Nazis that are currently still being digitized.
