Translators for the
Slovenian Genealogy Society have been working to translate many texts published
early in the 1900s that contain significant genealogical information. Our
translators are not professional linguists, and they do not complete a
translation with rigorous academic oversight. The goal of our translation
projects is to make information available to the American descendants of
Slovenian immigrants. If you believe we have made serious errors in translation,
please contact us and volunteer your time to us in order to make the
corrections. We strive to do good work; we are always willing to correct errors
to the extent we can; and we ask others to join us in this worthwhile
endeavor.
