At the OGS conference in Hamilton this past weekend I was fortunate enough to attend several of Lisa Alzo's sessions. I am listening as I type to her webinar on researching immigrant ancestors. I am now a huge fan, and have several of her books including Baba's Kitchen and Three Slovak Women.
At her suggestion, I am attempting to find a researcher who will be able to help me determine which records (if any) exist for our ancestral village of Iza. I have not had any luck finding anyone able to do so.
For the time being, I am going to start transcribing records for any and all immigrants from Iza. I would be very happy to hear from anyone interesting in researching Iza or other villages near to Khust.
