Historical Background[edit | edit source]
- During the time of Austrian rule there were a few civil registers started in 1870 to record those of dissident faiths or to record the baptisms of children of mixed marriages but these are still categorized as church registers.
- Another law in 1885 allowed for the recording of mixed marriages and children of mixed marriages to be recorded in quasi civil registers by local civil officials.
- In 1921 registration by civil authorities was enacted into law throughout the new Czechoslovak Republic.
