Czechia

Population

Police registration forms for Prague have been placed online at http://digi.nacr.cz/prihlasky2/. Currently there are 874,129 entries and eventually all data for the period 1850–1914 will be included. The site is in Czech but Google Chrome will translate to English. It is necessary to use the correct Czech letters with diacritic marks. Use a word processor such as Microsoft Word to correctly form the word, and then copy and paste it into the search field. At the site, click on "Najít" (find). Key words at the search site are:

novy dotaz = new inquiry
zuzit (a zaroven) = selection (and in addition)
zuzit (nebo) = selection (or)
a zaroven = and in addition
nebo = or
prijmeni = Surname
jmeno = first name (possible middle name in the next line with "a zaroven"
in the first column and "jmeno" in the second column)
rok narozeni = year of birth
obsahuje = contains
zacina = begins
konci = ends
je roven = „=“
je vetsi = is larger „>“
je mensi = is smaller „<“
hledat = search
najít = find
