Hi Carol, I am glad it helped you. Since there might be others wrestling with the online phone book, let's share with everyone how to search in it by region: You can broaden your search by omitting the PLACE (Obec:) and specifying only SURNAME (Prijmeni:) and REGION (Tel. obvod:). That will give you results for the entire region. This is very useful when your ancestors come from several places in the given region. If you are unsure what region to select, use www.obcemesta.cz to figure that out (region=kraj). And again, don't forget to uncheck the "Pouzivam diakritiku" checkbox.
