As visiting Wilber, NE, we had a chance to visit the Wilber Czech Museum - Karen who took us to Wilber, was able to setup a meeting with one of the administrators of the Museum so they opened it for us.
Blog for those who are interested in Czech genealogy, who have ancestors in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia.

Serfs register according to their faith from 1651 (updated)
One of the oldest sources which covers most of Bohemia is the Serfs register according to their faith (soupis poddaných podle víry) which was created in 1651. It covers just Bohemia, not Moravia or Silesia. If your ancestors were from Bohemia, it is a wonderful source of information.

Wilber, NE - the Czech Capital of the USA
Thanks to the fact I was in Lincoln, NE, I also had a chance to visit Wilber, NE, with my friends. Wilber is the official "Czech Capital of the USA" - place where up to 90 percent of all inhabitants have Czech roots. And they are very proud about these roots.

CGSI Conference 2019
I just returned back home to the Czech Republic from the Czechoslovak Genealogical Society International Conference 2019, which took place in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was a wonderful place for anyone interested in the Czech and Slovak genealogy.
Lectures, workshops, networking sessions, kroj parade, koláče, tours,
research sessions, vendors...All you can imagine when you say "a genealogical conference".
