I get this message at this image: "Slovakia Church and Synagogue Books, 1592-1935," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-D4WQ-NT7?cc=1554443&wc=9PQ7-MNP : 30 June 2022), Roman Catholic (Rímsko-katolícká cirkev) > Sobrance > Tibava > Baptisms (Krsty) 1879-1883, Marriages (Manželstvá) 1837-1871 Deaths (Úmrtia) 1837-1885, Marriages (Manželstvá) 1872-1931 > image 477 of 538; Odbor Archivnictva (The Archives of the Republic), Slovakia.


I couple years ago this book was available to explore. In Slovak Republic exists the law which restricts access 90 years after the last record in the registry.


The document mentioned above has last record in 1931. So I think that the document can be public accessible.


Here is the law about restricts. The law 395/2002 §13, 5. a)

    @blisca, thank you for providing a link to the restriction message associated with the Slovakia Church and Synagogue Books, 1592-1935. The restriction message, "Image Unavailable: This image is unavailable for online viewing at this time" only applies to that part of the collection that applies to Tibava, in the Sobrance District; and specifically, Baptisms (Krsty) 1879-1883, Marriages (Manželstvá) 1837-1871 Deaths (Úmrtia) 1837-1885, Marriages (Manželstvá) 1872-1931.

    These records equate to the film number 1794077, which can be found in the Catalog entry, Cirkevná matrika, 1838-1931.

    https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/720613?availability=Family%20History%20Library

    Here, in the Catalog entry, you can see that the film, although it has been digitized, is not available to be viewed online (notice that only a reel icon appears). The other two films, associated with Tibava, are viewable online, either from the Catalog entry or the collection waypoint.

    It is not uncommon for a single film, that is part of a collection, to be restricted while other films (waypoints) are accessible. Nevertheless, I will try to verify that this film is indeed restricted with regard to online viewing.

    In my experience, FS applies an across-the-board 100-year privacy cutoff for the Slovakia church books.

    You should be able to get the (digital) image you need via the Family History Library's Lookup Service.

    In my experience, the message you saw often indicates a temporary error. I suggest trying again after a few hours.

    As (one day on) the same message is still displayingm it does suggest this imagine is no longer available for viewing on FamilySearch. You could be patient and try again in the future, but probably best to follow Julia's advice and see if the Family History Library's Lookup Service can provide more immediate help.
