Emigration Applications and Lists
Two types of emigration records in Slovenia are applications of emigrants and lists of those departing. Nineteenth century emigrants had to prove fulfillment of obligations concerning land or property and young men had to prove they were not subject to military service. These records began in 1857 and continue to the present. Applications normally record names and dates of birth for all emigrants; other information may vary. These records are stored at the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia.
