Over the years, our extensive experiences in genealogical research has brought us face-to-face with a wide variety of unique and challenging real-life mainly Slovak cases of searching for documents to obtain Slovak Citizenship by Descent. Each solving required a tailored approach, combining expertise, creativity, and determination to uncover the truth hidden in historical records of Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech Republic or Ukraine.
Real-life experiences in Solving Slovak Citizenship by Descent
Below, we share three selected real-life cases of solving genealogical cases for solving the application for Slovak citizenship by descent describing experiences that not only highlight the complexities of genealogical research but also showcase the diverse challenges we’ve successfully overcome. By helping our clients acquire Slovak citizenship, we ensure their Slovak heritage is properly documented. Through these stories, we demonstrate our unwavering dedication to solving even the most intricate puzzles of family history.

1
A client contacted us after attempting to resolve their citizenship application through a lawyer. His lawyer reached out to multiple institutions requesting documentation, required for Slovak citizenship. They received all the responses from these institutions negative, so the client personally contacted the same institutions again. But he received only the same negative responses – that no documents for citizenship pertaining to his ancestors were available.
Following this double negative result, the client sought our help. Through research, we finally successfully uncovered the required documentation. We found it in the sources of the institution, which had previously twice announced a negative response to both the lawyer and the client.

The another client’s lawyer attempted to locate a death certificate for the client’s great-grandmother to confirm their Slovak citizenship. The lawyer contacted two institutions, but both of them just issued negative responses, stating they could not find that record. Someone would have given up, but this client reached out to us. And we actually found the record even at both institutions that had previously denied the existence of the record they were looking for.
This highlights the difference between the approach of a professional genealogist on one side and lawyers and officers on the other side; the lawyer who searches for documents solely through emails or phone communication, or some officers who are not always proactive and precise. These approaches can ultimately lead to contradictory conclusions.

The third case of assisting in the process of applying for citizenship had been complicated by the client’s own ancestor. During his lifetime, the ancestor was convicted of a crime, but he managed to escape overseas. He worked actively to erase all traces of his past. He changed his surname, date and place of birth, his wife changed everything even her first name. Their descendants – our client and his family – were unaware of their ancestor’s true identity or their tarnished history. Even the official authorities were unable to provide the requested information about these people.
What seemed like an unsolvable case we have ultimately resolved through meticulous and painstaking research based on our long-term research experience. We successfully uncovered identity of the client’s ancestors and relevant documents.
