1930 Czechoslovakia Census in the Slovak Lands

As I'm updating my website, iabsi.com, I came upon a digitized, online copy of the 1930 Czechoslovakia Census for the territories of the present-day Slovakia.   This information, combined with other sources I will later describe allows me to get a small picture of village life shortly after World War One.   Knowing from the village history that all but the church and one house were entirely destroyed.    At least for my family, I am struck by the following:

1. The population of the two villages shrunk to 47% of it's pre-war (1914) size.
2. In my families, very few adult men were living in the village at the time of the census.
3. Women, ages 20 to 30 were married, heads of households which contained young children.
4. Not many elders are to be found

Since many of the children were as young as one year of age, this suggest to me (and will need further research) that after the war, men perhaps found work and were living some distance away.  

Here is the web address:  https://slovakiana.sk/   It's in Slovak.  It has a little language flag on the top right to change to English, but it does not reliably work.   For English, I recommend using Google Chrome and selecting the option for Chrome to automatically translate pages in Slovak to English.

While Slovakia is my research interest, and since this census was conducted throughout Czechoslovakia, it stands to reason that the census for Bohemia, Moravia (Czech lands) and podkarpasta (Ukraine) is likely available online some place.  I'll leave that to you to locate and share those sites with us.

Word of warning.  This is a private site which, like mine is funded and shared without cost to all readers.  As such, it may disappear at any moment, being subject to the whims of the owner.  My site contains referrals to a number of those site which have "vanished".  So word to the wise, if it interests you, get in there, grab what you need before it disappears.

Good Luck,
