Slovenian Genealogy

Welcome to the new Genealogy page.  Up until now, we only had genealogy links on our general weblinks page.  Now we have more information specific to genealogy and have separated the genealogy information from the general Slovenia related links.  It is our hope that this section expands with valuable information to aid you in your family search. -webmaster
