I have been abstracting the Vrbovce church records from 1783 to 1815. During the beginning of that time all names pronounced "v" were written with a "w" and hence I was abstracting Waluch each and every time.
In 1804, the scribe makes the shift and suddenly the name is Valuch:
Thomas s. Jan Valuch and Elizabeth Brkala godparents Martin Nochta and Maria ? 17 November 1804
I have two Valuch lines to research. They join in the wedding of Jan Valuch-Malarik and Elizabetha Valuch on 31 January 1848 in Vrbovce. Thus far I can't connect them.
