The gazetteer is wonderful! Thanks Elaine for giving the site and Judi for asking for it. I went in and found several locations already - it's worth looking for the ones you already know the location of because there may be picture postcards. One thing I did learn though is to be persistent. I was searching for Kutna Hora -- I knew it should exist in the list. But it didn't come up right away. I tried Kutna ... nothing; then I tried Hora. Many villages with Hora in it's name came up and way down on the list was Hora Kutna. There were 70 photographs/pictures so it was worth the hunt. Susan W.
