Mary Jo Verschay & Mike Cardinal will take you to Piran, & on curvy Southern Slovenia back roads to Cerknica & its disappearing lake. Then on to visit a Mlakar family homestead & meet maternal relatives in Babno Polica. Taking a morning drive to Butoraj, they chance upon a young lady who leads them to friends of their Vrščaj relatives-who Mary Jo has been seeking for 11 years.
Three days in Ptuj completes their Slovenian journey. Information on the places visited, Slovenia travel, cultural, genealogy & heritage resources. Resource handouts! Observations & insights gained. Plus a Slovenian food quiz!
Mary Jo’s slides are available here.
