Research: Slovak Ancestors--Updating

Throughout history Slovaks have been noted for their deep sense of family and community. If you are searching for your Slovak ancestors, networking with others can be a great way to gather information, share stories and solve common research problems. The missing piece of your research puzzle could be hiding in a small-town Slovak parish, a national fraternal organization, a local historical or ethnic society, or perhaps in other unusual and interesting places.

This class will continue on from the basic research class, with emphasis placed on going beyond your own personal genealogy to form a mutually beneficial community-based research protocol through networking with other researchers and participation in professional groups, societies, village-based associations, etc.

A comprehensive traditional and online reference list will be provided. Suggestions for additional resources will be encouraged and welcomed!

Publishing and sharing information and research data with others will also be discussed in detail.
