GUIDE TO GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH is currently being prepared for publication in 2000.. The information will cover not only the territory of Slovakia but the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Poland, Ukraine, Germany, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Romania, USA and Canada as well. It will bring information on sources useful in genealogical research, about their maintenance in particular archives, their information value, methods how to use the information offered, how to develop them etc. Most of the information will be published for the first time. The book is to comprise 45 chapters, a lot of illustrations (depictions of documents) and indexes. While the main text will be written in Slovak, each chapter will be summarized in English.
