Gazetteers are a great way to find out the current name and location of a town. There are some free online, or if you are old school like me, I keep several on my bookshelf.

According to Majtan’s gazetteer for the town of Slovakia (ISBN 8022405302), Magyarbodi is now Bidovce near the town of Kozice.

Here is a map so that you can orient yourself:

My uncle by marriage, John Hornick (or Hornyck), who emigrated to Montana in 1900 came from Magyarbodi. How can I find the location of that place?

In order to assist you, it would help if you provided more details. Names of immigrant couple with approx birth dates/ place, names and dates of birth for their children, religion.

There was a Gogolac* family which settled in PA from Domanovce. This is near Levoca in Slovakia. Family search has digitized some of the records:

The LDS also have Domanovce records on three microfilms: 1739901 1739902 1739903
