Hi, Rosie -- Hi, Lars! you are correct about the location of Mnisek. Lars, what an incredible library you must have! thanks for your thoughts. I will take your advice about writing to the archives--as you say, it's worth a try! Best wishes, jana --------- From: Rosemary Bodien <rosie@bodien.org> Hi Jan, CGSI (www.cgsi.org) and the Family History Library in Salt Lake City have many of the regional books. CGSI does do look ups for a small fee. I have the Pilsen Berni Rule Books. Maybe someone else has your regional Berni Rule book. Which region is it? Rosie in WA State -------------- Hi Jan, nice to hear from you again. Rosie ask what for region is it. I think you mean this Mnisek southerly from Jindrichuv Hradec? Because I have seen in the Index that you mean this Bartolomej Pivec from Pribraz and seeming also this Matej Pivec from Mnisek. I have 15 or 16 parts from the Berni Rula, but this parish Mnisek and the other close villages are in the Bechynsko Kraj. Berni Rula "regional" book No. 4, 5, 6 and 7. But this 4 parts are not published as yet. I do not know when or if they become anytime published. So I think it is impossible that any Library, Society or Salt Lake has this parts. I do also not know if any regional archive in Bohemia has this not published parts. I had for example contact with an Lady in the National archive in Prague (http://www.nacr.cz) for an while, because by the Berni Rula Hradecko Kraj (my family Kraj) was some parts also not published as yet. She could me give some hints, had looked in the books and had tries to help me. But sorry I have not more the name from this Lady or any Email address etc. Maybe you can write to the National archive for help. It would be an try worth. good luck in your search Lars Germany -------------------- Jan Esenwein jesenwei@mdanderson.org
