I’m pleased to report that Peter Absolon and his volunteer transcribers are close to finishing work on the 1930 Czechoslovak Census. Peter expects that it will take less than two months to finish transcribing the remaining 11,000 to 12,000 records from Bratislava.

We’ve been fortunate that Peter has been able to download digital images of census pages from the Slovakiana website but it appears that pages are missing for a few towns in the Trebisov and Stropkov districts. If you check the map at https://sites.google.com/absolon.eu/1930census/status-report you can see the purple spots in eastern Slovakia that identify the missing towns:

Sirnik (Szürnyeg) in district Trebisov
Sandal, Tokajik, Turiany, Valkov, Velkrop, Vislava and Sucha in district Stropkov

Fortunately, the Slovak National Archives have the missing records, which we can purchase for a reasonable fee. We’re requesting donations to acquire the missing scans. To help complete this monumental effort, please go to https://www.jewishgen.org/jewishgen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=15 and scroll down to Slovak Archives Records Project to make your donation.

Many thanks to all of you who have supported this project and to Peter for downloading the records and leading the team of volunteers!

Thank you. In trying to uncover identity of family that hosted my mom as a child but remained behind in Zvolen to be murdered, we received lists of Jewish residences and Jewish dentists as father was a dentist. We we're unsuccessful because the entire census of Zvolen was not complete. Also we wanted to see the census of Michalovce to see what the Hlinka Cards used to hunt down my mom's father and cousin. But we were told that that info was no longer extant. Can you advise if you have this data? Thank you. If you need the lists of Jewish owned homes and Jewish dentists and recently baptized people let me know privately. It was received by local Slovak archives. Feigie Teichman

Hi Feigie,

The census we're talking about here is from 1930, nothing to do with the Holocaust and war era. Newer data aren't available for public research yet (90 years protection rule applies)
