Subject: [h-sig] Marriage records

My grandparents Oskar Prager and Melanie (nee Brooner) were married in
Cadca, Slovakia, on 21 September,1913 - does anyone know where I could
obtain their marriage records.


Also, my gt-grandmother Malvine Prager (nee ?) was born 5 December, 1854
in Jaska, Croatia. What would your advice be to
trace this record. And would it be possible to find out if she had any
other children other than Oskar Prager.

Thank you for any assistance or advice your can give.

tell us where you are located or what sources you have already consulted.
