This is a good idea. I would be interested too. Maybe someone knows a Czech site they can be downloaded from like you can with ancestry.com. If not, maybe you would just have to take an English one and translate the words into Czech.

Dorothy - your idea sounds good -- take a form in English and translate it to Czech. I believe ancestry.com and genealogy.com both have forms/trees that you can download. I recently discovered a birth certificate from Bohemia written in 1854. The headings/titles were written in both Czech and German -- so you may want to do the same or do them in Czech, German and English allowing the person who is attempting to use the form to use the language he/she is most familiar with. Perhaps someone on this list would be willing to write a short paragraph explaining what you are looking for -- or better yet - Peter could write the paragraph in English and ask to have it translated. Creating the form yourself would be relatively easy -- kind of like writing a fill-in-the blank family tree by leaving blank spaces underlined and putting the titles like mother, father, etc. underneath. Once you work with it, you'll come up with something that works for you. Susan
