  Hi Marian, sorry, I am not familiar with those villages and they weren’t ones I visited. The Bytca archives will do research for you for a fee, or you could try to hire someone. I live in California so, as much as I want to go spend a month in those archives, it’s not in the cards for now.

  This is very helpful for locating actual microfilm rolls by village. You’ve done the work that takes so long to do researching families. Now could you tell me and others, of course, how to request a search from the Archives and if there is someone there you have dealt with personally that you could refer.
  Thank you.

  Hi Roslyn, you’ll have to contact the archives directly to ask them about purchasing their services to find a record. It shouldn’t be expensive; I’ve already communicated with a different Slovakian archive about doing it and it’s something in the neighborhood of $15-20 USD an hour. From what I can gather, there is no real advantage to finding an outside researcher, unless it’s someone you already know. If you are lucky enough to go yourself, be sure to contact the archives ahead of time. There aren’t a lot of film readers and they get reserved way in advance.

  I’m interested in records from Benadikova, Kral’ova Lehota, and Vychodna, which are not listed here. Do you happen to know how to obtain records from individual towns – or are these also obtained from the State Archives?

  Thank you.

  Hi Hilary, there are 7 regional state archives in Slovakia and each of your towns will be in one of them. If the towns aren’t listed above, they could still be in Bytča, because I only transcribed the names of towns with Jewish records. For the most part, individual towns do not have anything but recent records, though that may vary.

  Hi Cyndi,
  I was looking at Jewish Gen and wondering about burial records, when I came upon this communication
  Have you communicated with anyone in Bytca?
  I would like research on Kotesova. Any helpful hints are welcome. Thanks,

  I am just wondering if Ujfalu would be present day Dulov ? I am searching for Jewish relatives and its states on the baptims conversation record to Catholic that the name of the town is Ujfalu. The baptism took place in Puchov, Slovakia.

  Thanks for any insight.

  Hi Mike.

  Try Nová Ves nad Váhom. It’s about 65 km from Puchov.

  That being said, it could be anywhere. Ujfalu appears to mean “depopulated area”. I’d take that to mean a rural area surrounding a town. So it could be the outskirts of Puchov.

  It may also mean “new village” in Hungarian.

  Thank you, I have been looking but cannot find the family. See attached
  June 30/1846. Her god parents were very important people, I believe that she may have been a maid for them. But I cannot find anything to do with her father Vikor Fuchs. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

  According to the website http://www.cisarik.com, which I have found to be a highly accurate and useful website, Ujfalu is an older name for what is now Nová Ves nad Váhom, Trencin, Slovakia. All of the alternate names of that town are listed as well, as are neighboring towns.
