RESEARCHERS
FOR HIRE
The following firms and individuals can be
hired for research of Czech records.
Some will also photograph houses, churches, etc. for you. Their rates vary as well as their expertise. The SMALL TOWNS website does not recommend
nor endorse any researcher, nor do we bear any responsibility for your
satisfaction with search results. We
will appreciate learning of your experience with Czech researchers, and will
accept additions to this list. Check for
current postage rates from USA to Europe.

You must know the town or county of your
ancestor before you order from archives or hire a researcher. There are methods of determining unknown
origins.
The main Czech Archives in Prague, but
they will NO LONGER do genealogical
research, in any of the Czech archives.
You must hire a research firm or go to the archive yourself. The June ’02 issue of Nase rodina gives good
instructions for preparing to go if you must:

The regional archive at Trebon (includes
Suchdol area), has records from year 1602, and oldest land deed, 1134. Do not
order directly as they no longer research for us. See Archivni Sprava (main Cz.Archives in
Prague) above. Trebon Archiv:

Rozmberk Society's research activity now
goes by Czech Ancestry. One of their researchers was employed in the Trebon
Archive for 5 years and users report very good results, and the fee will help the Peasanat museum.
They are involved in several projects that help us -- show your appreciation with
an order. They will do small orders but prefer bouts of 10 hrs at $18/hr., due
before results are released, and a deposit is required. Can report in English. Address:
