Karel Kysilka identified the sources of various land records at the Brno Archives from 1310-1928: http://members.tripod.com/~zlimpkk/ http://members.tripod.com/~zlimpkk/Genealogy/brnoarchives.html From Mr. Kysilka's statements, I would infer that all the records for Moravia must be held in the Moravian Provincial Archives in Brno. From that I would also infer that all the same records for Bohemia would be kept somewhere in Prague, probably the State Central Archive. I suspect these records are being kept for scholarly research about Czech History by Czech historians and not used as primary source of information for family histories. Indeed, they probably are of minimal value until you already have all the members of a family identified and documented from parish registries. Another source of information is: http://www.shon.150m.com/czechhtm.htm Basically, I am of the opinion that land records are probably of marginal value to any family history search. If one had enough time or available funds, it might be of value to have such records searched to fill in informational "gaps" that cannot be obtained from parish registries. Similarly, each town or village had a designated local historian who maintained a chronicle of events. Many village histories are still available, but many have also been destroyed by fires, floods and other catastrophic events. If your family is described in one of these chronicles, the information is wonderful because it puts a personal "spin" on events of that time period. Ron Mlejnek
