I thought I'd pinned down the birthplace of my maternal grandfather. According to Wikipedia, there are no less than three villages named Lúčky in Slovakia:

Lúčky, Michalovce District

Lúčky, Ružomberok District

Lúčky, Žiar nad Hronom District

How on earth do I go about figuring out which one is right? Especially when I can neither speak nor read Slovak?

My plan for ancestral origins has been to depend on years of research by Aunts and cousins.
