Hi Lars, Thanks again for the detailed response. I have located a couple of letters that I think I will take to the Czech lady that cuts my hair to see if she can make sense of the addresses, but thought I would send to you also. One is from Bohuslav Vanecek from about 1938. The letter is water damaged, but part of the address is: Kadericke Salony Rene Praha II Prikopy C.S.R. The other is from Milly Vlasaly (Vlasaty?), who was my father's cousin from Pilsen. The letter is dated Nov.23, 1953 and the address is: Pilsen, Tzechoslovaquia, Ti. I. Maje 68/11 Hopefully my friend can help make sense of these addresses, but thought there might be some small mistakes or clarifications you may notice. Please don't go to any trouble, but I had to send this on to you anyways just in case you have any leads. Thanks again.
