I apologize for being unclear. I have done research in the States. I
have been doing research for 15 years or more and I am only 31! My
mother taught me young. I am interested in beginning research in
Bohemian research. I am unaware of what is available in another
country or what I can do to focus on a particular area instead
of "Bohemia". Any ideas?

Thanks to those who have helped thus far. I can tell I am going to
really like this list!
