Subject: [CZ] Request to Archives
Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2001 21:09:26 -0400


As soon as the Regional Archives re-opens, I am going to send off my first
request for some research. I will ask for research on the two lines we
know. I have the place of birth for each immigrant and an approximate birth
date for each, based on the parents age given at time of children born in
NYC. I also want to know if they married in CZ and had children there before
immigrating.

There is a family in the US 1880 census that MAY be our family, birth dates
are close (within 1 or 2 years.) The 1880 census family lists 5 children,
two of which are born in Bohemia. Should I include this information?
Anything else that I need to say or include?

Do I just say in my request letter the amount I can spend - I recall someone
suggested at least $100? I presume that is US dollars which I can do,
although I live in Canada. Do they write me back after doing the research
and tell me how much and how to send them payment?

Should I wait until they open again before I send off my request?

Correct address? Archivni Sprava, Minsterstva vnitra CR, Milady Horakove
133, 166 21 Praha 6, Czech Republic.

Thanks for any guidance and confirmation.

Janice in Canada
