Let me praise the wonders of the internet. Although one should be wary of trusting \u2018ready-made\u2019 genealogies found online, there really are some fantastic resources available (not to mention the many more one can gain access to through local family history centers<\/a> \u2013 a fact that has given me a greater appreciation for the Mormon doctrine<\/a> of baptism for the dead!). Although I vaguely hoped that I might one day see it, I never thought I would find online my great-great-great-grandmother\u2019s grave online for me to find \u2013 yet there it is<\/a>! Even though I am not yet quite able to read them, in order to gain access to some of Joszef Repaszky\u2019s books, I didn\u2019t have to spend my time in the ancient books collection of the single library in Slovakia that still has copies. I merely had to hire a genealogist<\/a>, who went to the archive, photographed the books, and sent me the digital photos on CDs. If and when I do get to Slovakia to do family history research, I can use my time more usefully than sitting taking pictures or making copies. (Many thanks to the genealogist in question, Juraj Cisarik<\/a>, whose services I can certainly recommend).<\/p>\n
