I have been doing genealogy for 30 years but these Slovakian village names
are the most difficult research I have come across. Even with StetlSeeker
and all the great resources, I would still be nowhere without the help of
people on the list. I didn't think Lyarinsko looked very good. I did find
Nyarsardo on the 1910 map. (That collection of maps is great!) This answer
fits perfectly because other family members are from Velky Saros and Presov
so there is a pattern developing.
