Description
My family and I are travelling to Slovakia in a few weeks as part of a heritage trip to visit my great-grandmother's birthplace. I'm looking for a guide to assist us when we visit and also ideally to help look up some additional information prior to our arrival. I have the information regarding the town she was baptized in and the date, but am hitting a wall there. She is from Turzovka, Cadca, Slovakia. Any recommendations on someone to contact in that area who could help us either in advance, or serve as a guide for a day while there? Thanks!

Hello,
Could any of these travel guides and genealogists, listed on the CGSI website, help you? https://cgsi.org/resources/professional-resources/travel. Otherwise, you could try to contact the City Hall and Parish office in Turzovka, before you go. They also might connect you with a local historian. Here is a website of Turzovka (you can click with a right clicking for the Translate to English option (Google) https://www.turzovka.sk/navstevnik/kulturne-pamiatky/. I would also recommend to stop at the Tourist Info Center (TIK - Turisticka Informacna Kancelaria), such as the Informacne centrum mesta Cadca, here is listed their email and FB presence (to write them a private message through FB) https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100054368237423. The The Tourist Info Centrum in Zilina (TIK) may be of help for the whole Kysuce region. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have. Thank you. yvegen
