Czechia Jewish Records: Difference between revisions

'''The birth, death and marriage records of the former Jewish communities of Bohemia and Moravia are located at the Czech State Archives in Prague. These records are in German, and are usually in old gothic script, making it difficult for most people to take advantage of these fabulous resources. There is a catalogue of the archival holdings organized by town name. Reviewing the records takes at least two days if you have not arranged your visit ahead of time. On the first day, you request retrieval of the record books and then must return the next day to actually review the records. The staff will make copies or microfilm for a modest fee. The Czech archives also will conduct basic genealogical research for $13-$22 per hour plus administrative fees and copying costs. Translations may be available for $5 per page.'''
