Card indexes (Opava archives)

Opava archives (which cover central and northern Moravia and Silesia) contain quite much information. Such as... Tons of different archival sources, not only parish books or census records, but much more. One of those sources are card indexes - or registration cards of the people who lived or moved in the town. You can find similar resource in the Prague municipal archive - Prague conscriptions.


These registration cards usually dates to the first half of 20th century. Every larger town had its police department which registered people coming to town. Everyone who stayed one night and more was supposed to be registered to have an overall picture about people living and working there.

So, what do these cards contain?

You can find there quite a lot of information about people. The registration card was used also as an identification card before the ID cards became part of our lives. I chose one card written in Czech as an example - there are also many cards written in German as they were part of the Protectorate system during the WWII. 


This is a registration card of Josefa Hammerová from the Jeseník (Frývaldov) district, from town Horní Grunt (today Horní Údolí, part of Zlaté Hory). It shows quite many information about her - name, surname, maiden name, marital status, religion, nationality... Let's take a closer look.


This is the first "identification" part. It contains surname (příjmení), names (jména), maiden name (rozená), marital status (rodinný stav), religion (nábož. vyznání), nationality (národnost), occupation (povolání), country of residency (státní příslušnost), domicile rights (domovská příslušnost), day, month, year, place and district of birth (narození - den, měsíc, rok, místo, okres). 

So Josefa Hammerová was born Erglerová, she was a widow (vdova), of Roman catholic religion and of German (nem.) nationality. She was in household (domácnost), resident of Germany (N) with domicile rights in Horní Grunt - she most probably belonged among those Germans who were expelled from Czechoslovakia after WWII (that's why she had residency in Germany) but was allowed to stay in CZ. She was born on 3rd December 1864 in Horní Grunt in Frývaldov (Jeseník) district. 

What else is there...


There is information about Josefa's parents - father (otec) Ergler František, mother (matka) Therezie Knappe. There is also name of her husband (manžel) Jan Hammer who was born on 8th June 1864 in Horní Grunt. If she was younger there would be children up to 15 years mentioned (děti do 15 let). 

The card mentions Josefa's new residency (nové bydliště) - Horní Grunt house no. (čís. p.) 82. It also lists the day she came to town (den příchodu) - she lived there since she was born (od narození). It lists her residency prior to 1938 - Horní Grunt. Josefa undersigned the registration card together with the house owner - Mina Hammer, most probably her unmarried daughter. 

Quite a lot of information for one card, right? And the important part is - thanks to these cards you can track people who were born in the first half of 20th century, sometimes even those who are still alive.

  1. This sounds good. Thanks for the info. However, I find no entries for the village of Stare Hamry (Moravian-Silesian area) nor do I find card index records for Ostravice, Frydek-Mistek, Bila, Malenovice or Opava. These are all the places that I know of in the area. Perhaps there is a larger administrative area where the records, if any, would have been kept?

      we are strictly rendering fast help to those bitcoin online investors facing various issues

      left unattended by their wallet accounts SERVICE PROVIDER (team supports),leaving you hanging and lost on how to go about getting help. 

      EG:

      BLOCKSTREAM (blockchain)

      Blockstream employs a number of prominent bitcoin core developers and is one of the largest 

      contributors of the software's funding.The company has been attempting to make it possible 

      to "break off" transactions from the bitcoin network,

      making the number of "REGISTERED ACCOUNT’S TROUBLESHOOT TICKETS” the network 

      could handle less important and most time not even looked into as there are 

      millions of “REQUEST TICKETS” on the team supports cue.



      "BE SMART ENOUGH”, to know these companies don’t even care if ONE out of more than a million customers they got is in need of support after getting scammed and etc.

      for example:


      1️⃣ NONSPENDABLE BITCOIN ACTIVATION! 


      2️⃣STOLEN BITCOIN$(fake FX trading platforms)! 



      3️⃣LOST PASSWORD GLITCH! 



      4️⃣TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATOR PROBLEMS! 



      5️⃣LOST ID OR PASSWORD GLITCH! 



      6️⃣HACKED ACCOUNTS ! 



      7️⃣ RECOVERY OF CRYPTO (BINARY LOSSES & STOLEN FUNDS) 


      8️⃣PHISHING OF BITCOIN ACCOUNTS PROBLEM! 



      9️⃣LOGIN ERORS! 



      10.SCAMMED DURING BITCOIN TRADINGS (WITHDRAWAL ISSUES).
