Washington, D.C. 20008 INFORMATION ON GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH ------------------------------------ The Embassy of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic has the honor to inform you about genealogical research done in Czechoslovakia by the Czechoslovak State District Archives. This research is based on vital statistics registers (of birth, marriage and death) and can provide you with information about names of searched persons, date and place of their birth, marriage and death, information about their parents, their profession (only in certificates of birth), names of their wives or husbands and names of the witnesses of the marriage (only in certificates of marriage), cause of death (only in certificates of death) etc. Genealogical research can be done with respect to documentation older than 50 years. As far as vital statistics records of birth, marriage and death are concerned, only records up to the year 1900 are located in the Archives. Research can be done either IN THE FORM OF A RUNNING ACCOUNT or IN THE FORM OF INDIVIDUAL VITAL STATISTICS RECORDS. APPLICATIONS FOR BOTH KINDS OF RESEARCH ARE ENCLOSED. WE RECOMMEND YOU TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION IN CAPITAL LETTERS OR BY TYPEWRITER, INDICATE ALL IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO START THE RESEARCH (name of person search, date and place of birth). The date of birth can be indicated in a close approximation (max. +- 3 years). Attaching copies of personal documents issued in Czechoslovakia to the application might contribute to the success of the research as well. In your application you can also request photocopies or microfilms of the records.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1. GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH IN THE FORM OF A RUNNING ACCOUT is based on the information about one ancestor. From this information it is possible to trace the parents of the searched person and, under certain circumstances, his or her brothers and sisters (if they were born in the same locality). In order to commence genealogical research about descendents of a known ancestor, it is, however, important to know the date and place of his or her marriage or the date and place of birth of the children. Owing to the fact that the research always depends on the accuracy of information specified in the application, in certain exceptional cases it is possible that the report will be very limited or completely negative. For this reason, please indicate everything which could help to identify the person searched for. ----------------------------Begin Page 3------------------------------ -- APPLICATION FOR GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH IN THE FORM OF RUNNING ACCOUNT FROM CZECHOSLOVAKIA 1.
