Teresa, I live near Des Moines, but grew up in Kansas. My husband is from Wilber, Nebraska. They claim to be the Czech capitol of the US. Just googled Wilber, Nebraska and I now know why. In 1961, a group of businessmen conceived the idea of hosting a Czech festival to preserve the Czech customs and traditions of our Czech ancestors. Governor Frank Morrison named Wilber the Czech Capital of Nebraska in 1986, U.S. Senator Edward Zorinsky of Nebraska passed a proclamation on the floor of the U.S. Senate proclaiming Wilber to be the Czech Capital of the United States. http://www.barnasdrug.com/history.html The town has 40% Czech ancestors. My last name is Zlab. I would love for you to send info on how to see Prague in one day. Do you need something looked up in Iowa ? I have access to many records at Historical Society, Genealogical Society. I also visit Nebraska on regular basis Thanks Heidi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Teresa" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 3:19 PM Subject: Re: [CZ] new to list > Heidi, > > I have info on how to see Prague in one day.
