Welcome to the Slaven Genealogy Exchange! Our purpose is to be a central location to collect and exchange information for Slaven, Slevin, Slavin, Slavey, and other surname variations. As a registered one-name study, the scope of this exchange is world wide. We hope there's something here for the beginning genealogist, the old hand, and the merely curious! |

What's new?!The National Archives of Ireland have added the 1901 census to the 1911 census that was previously available through their website. Even if you don't have relatives or ancestors in Ireland in the early 20th century, it worth a visit to see how well they've presented the data and all the information available from the scanned census returns. Keep in mind that the 1901 and 1911 censuses contain all 32 counties, as the partitioning didn't take place until 1921. Scans of a couple 18th century Virgina land grants relating to John Slavin have been added to the courthouse page. Photos of the gravesite and memorial for John Slavin of Highland County have been added to the cemetery page. The Slaven etc. entries from several early Irish census substitutes have been added to the site: the 1664-5 County Armagh Hearth Money Rolls, the 1766 Religious Census for some County Tyrone Parishes, and the Irish 1796 Flax Growers List. Links to them can be found on the Irish census information page. Slaven DNA Project members who log on to their personal page at FamilyTreeDNA will see that they now offer a new product called Family Finder. Like the mtDNA (female line) test, this new test is of limited value to a surname study and will not be a part of the Slaven DNA project. It does has its uses-- I've been tested by 23andMe for their version of this product-- so I'd be glad to discuss the uses for the test. Just drop me an email.
