This is a non-commercial site, based on data contributed by visitors and researchers.
It has two primary objectives:
- The site serves as an introduction to the history and culture of twin
Slovakian villages, Unter-Metzenseifen and Ober-Metzenseifen, both as they
existed prior to 1900 and as they are now (The current names of the
villages are Medzev and Vyšný Medzev) and the neighbouring town Stoß (Stos).
For the casual visitor, there are home page tabs accessing history,
handicraft and cultural information, as well as travel and mapping data.
These sections are freely available to all visitors.
- It provides support for genealogical researchers whose prior family history
is associated with the two Metzenseifen villages. This includes access to birth,
marriage, death and cemetery records for the seventeenth, eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. Since the genealogical data base area also contains a
listing of researcher names, addresses and areas of interest, access to this
section is restricted for security purposes, to prevent spam and malicious
email abuse. Serious researchers can apply for a password and login name by
following the procedures in the registration section (See the
Misc. tab.).
Again, we extend our sincere thanks for the data and other information provided
by earlier visitors and researchers. |
