Tutorial

In case you've tried the CESKEARCHIVY site, and were confused about how it works, here's a quick tutorial.

That link'll get you to this page. For more difficulty, click the "Deutsch" or "Cesky" flags, but for English, leave it as it is, and click the "Littera scripta manet" button.




The next page looks like this:

Menu on the left, you want "Parish registers", ok? Click that...

..and then,

"Roman Catholic Church"

From this point, you can click any of the letters. They

stand for parishes in Bohemia, but of course they're not all relevant to the search for HESCHs.

(Somewhere in here, you'll need to install ZOOMIFY on your computer to access the books. DO IT!)

We show up mostly in Cimer and Horni Pena, in the district of Jindřichův Hradec, but we haven't scoured ALL the books there, so have at it!

Here, I've selected the H's, for Horni Pena--just LOOK at all the parishes to choose from!


When you click the words HORNI PENA,

you'll get a list of all the years and books they've

digitized from that parish.

Book 8, image 164 will show you a familiar family name. Page around--its really FUN!

You're welcome!
