Brezová pod Bradlom to Chicago

the long version

A compendium of history for Brezová pod Bradlom, Slovakia, and the people and their emigration to Chicago c. 1890s - 1900s. Contains VALKO and KARLIK genealogies from northwest Slovakia. Mentioned are Brezová pod Bradlom, Myjava, Vrbovce and Vrbové. Illustrations include maps, diagrams and photos. My great-grandparents were VALKO and KARLIK who came to Chicago from Brezová pod Bradlom in the 1890s. This book was prepared as a “show and tell” for those with interest in their Slovak heritage — Brezová to Chicago.
