The exact place of origin must be known before research in Czech records can begin. For suggestions on finding an immigrant ancestor's birthplace, see the "Determining a Place of Origin in the Czech Republic" section. | |||
To begin research for your ancestor in birth records, you need to know at least his or her name, the village or parish where he or she lived in the Czech Republic, and an approximate date when he or she lived there. | |||
If you do find the ancestor's birth information in your family records, or other easily available sources, make sure to document where you found that information. Also, make sure to determine whether the birth information found is merely family heresay or if it came from original records. | If you do find the ancestor's birth information in your family records, or other easily available sources, make sure to document where you found that information.
