Czechoslovakia - 103 years

Today it's 103 years since Czechoslovakia was created. It doesn't exist anymore (yep, I know, might be surprise for some people) as it ended in 1992 when the country splited to the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Today I want to take a look on the creation of Czechoslovakia a bit differently - through the local chronicles...

Updated guide to the Acta Publica website

 

Parish books from the southern Moravia and Vysocina region are being published on the Acta Publica website. This website is administered by the Moravian Land Archives in Brno and is currently available in Czech, German and only partially in English, so I have decided to prepare a guide to it.

Traps of old spelling: Voiced and unvoiced consonants

Parish books stored in the municipal offices (Zámrsk archive)

I often stumble upon a question where to find parish books which are not yet in the archives. I wrote a guide how to find in which municipal office the parish books are stored, but there are other ways how to find out. 

Zámrsk archive offers information about parish books stored in the municipal office - you can find it on their website. There is a list available which covers all the parish books till 1949 which are still stored in the municipal offices in the former Easter Bohemian region.
