FamilySearch has 3 collections covering it, running 1592–1990, 19,061,773 indexed records. 3 pieces of this ground are mapped for jurisdiction, so the atlas can say whose archive held it in a given year.

Whose archive this ground was

Record regions mapped in Slovakia — which empire held the ground, and therefore which archive holds its paper.

The archives

  • ANNO — Austrian Newspapers Online free Vienna, Austria

    The Austrian National Library's digitised newspaper run. Full-text searchable, and it covers the whole empire — which is why it finds Croatian and Istrian names.

  • GenTeam.at Vienna, Austria

    Volunteer indexes to the Habsburg lands — Vienna's parish registers, Jewish records, school and guild lists. Free with an account, and it reaches ground the church portals do not.

  • Hungaricana free Budapest, Hungary

    The Hungarian cultural heritage portal — maps, censuses, urbaria and archival finding aids for the whole Kingdom of Hungary, not today's borders.

  • Magyar Nemzeti Levéltár (Hungarian National Archives) catalogue Budapest, Hungary

    The archives of the Kingdom of Hungary, which until 1920 meant Slovakia, Transylvania, the Banat and Croatia as well. Civil registration duplicates from 1895 are here even where the ground is now in another country.

And 12 worldwide providers reach Slovakia too — the full list.
