BREZOVA POD BRADLOM, SLOVAKIA

We are heading to the birthhome of my mother,

Brezova pod Bradlom.

Nearby we will pass through the small hometown of Slovak national hero, 
Milan Rastislav Štefánik.
1880-1919

The area seems to be a geographic hotbed that nurtured certain individuals that went on to become significant figures in a seemingly never ending "war" towards the country's sovereignty and democracy. 

Brezova pod Bradlom

From the memoirs our father:

Without any detailed notes, 

I would just assume the nearly one hundred years ago our mother would have attended one of these churches.
