Using Regional Archives[edit | edit source]
- Czech vital records are kept at the regional archives and most are available online.
- The regional archives are the repositories for most pre-1900 parish books and, therefore, are the archives of primary importance to Czech genealogical researchers.
- In addition to early parish books, the regional archives house an enormous amount of important material including early cadastral records, maps, architectural plans, historical documents, court records, administrative papers, etc.
- You must know the village, city or parish to determine which archive holds the records of your ancestors.
- If you do not know the name of the village or parish your ancestors lived in, see:
- Czechia Finding Town of Origin, using United States records
- Czechia Determining a Place of Origin
- Czechia Emigration and Immigration
- If you know the village/town/parish, use the GenTeam Free Gazetteer to find out which archive holds the records that you need. GenTeam Instructions
