Continuity and
discontinuity were the key words of the scientific conference held in
Martin, Slovakia in late November 2008. The participants intended to
summarize development in genealogy, heraldry and related disciplines in
Slovakia, compare it with development in other countries, and then
present their findings at the XXIX International Congress of Genealogic
and Heraldic Sciences in Bratislava in 2010. Despite the fact that
finally the international congress was held in Stuttgart, Germany, the
participants in its preliminary conference fulfilled their task. This
anthology introduces their perspective on the development of families,
genealogy, heraldry and related disciplines in Slovakia and partly in
other countries too.
