In Mesa Az, a suburb of Phoenix is the Mesa Family History Center. It is the largest family history center in the world and the library is the 3rd largest (after the 2 in Utah). It is on Hobson just east of the huge Mormon Temple. The Czech and Slovak Genealogical Society of Arizona is continually purchasing books and info for them and also the Arizona state archives--genealogy library. The capital library is located on the 3rd floor of the Old Capitol Building. They also have computer subscriptions, plus the newspaper archives, researchers who ae knowledgeable. Once a month (except summer) they have a talk by a professional on some aspect of genealogy/family research. I have personally delivered to Mesa ALL of Baca's books, Habernicht's Czechs in America, numerous atlases, the Historical Atlas of Eastern Europe, the genealogical Czech dictionary, regular Czech and Slovak dictionaries. Whatever we get for our library we also purchase for Mesa and the State Archive library. If they don't yet have the Denni Hlasatel obit list, then it will be there soon. We are continually purchasing materials for research in Czech and Slovak lands. We have paid for subscriptions to the major US Czech/Slovak society magazines for both of the libraries. There are many Slovak microfilms and all census films of the US except 1930 at Mesa. By now they may have that. Their computers have connections/ subscriptions to Ancestry, Genealogy.com, etc. Dorothy Janca President Czech and Slovak Genealogical Society of Arizona http://rootsweb.com/~azcsgsa/ List Administration wrote: >This is a forwarded message > >From: annmaly@aol.com <annmaly@aol.com> > > > >lauret maestas, < annmaly@aol.com > has sent the following query to the CZECH Mail List: > >Query= Looking for MALY-REZAC coming to America in mid to late 1800's.
