Ken, you are right. They have been added to the Brno Archives not the Plzen Archives. All I have seen was that they added new/more records ( text from website:Dobrý den, dnes byly přidány matriky z okr. Vyškov a Znojmo. Seznam přidaných matrik následuje níže) and thought I would share. Since Brno and Plzen are on one web site - I should have checked in what area the added districts were.

Cris - your not doing anything wrong !!!! I am able to open a few pages of book 18 but that's it. The little circle in the middle of the page keeps spinning like it wants to open it but nothing happens. I ran into same problem with some of the books I am researching. You will have to just wait until Pilsen fixes it :( Keep on checking though. What/Who are you looking for?

Mary if you are loged on, you should see ( top right corner) something that looks like a door with a red arrow pointing to it. If you move your courser over it, it should read "Odhlasit".

Thanks much, Aida! That helps a lot ~Debbie

Update: I just found that I must have registered correctly, for I got an email from "actapublica.eu" and I guess it says I'm registered. But I still don't know how to log out of that website. Mary

I did everything it says in the instructions from Ken Chromy and think I am registered. The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to "log out." Where does one go to log out? By the way, when I said I didn't know if I were logged in or not, is that it showed me the new registration page again, but I was able to click on the sidelines to go to the Plzen archives. Since I can't read Czech, I'm not sure what it was telling me, but a word like "problem" seemed to be in one of the sentences. Maybe that's because I put in the search for Marianske Lazne, and that's not digitized yet--still only to J, it seems. Would like some help on this and the logging out. Thanks!

Hi Debbie, Anger belonged to Grafenried (Lucina) in the Kreis of Bischofteinitz and is listed in the Sudetengerman Genealogy net. Go to this site and see what is available for Anger, and then click also on any of the blue links at this site for more references. The best, however, is that they are showing all the parish names in both languages, the old German and the new Czech names, so that you can find the village in the Pilsen Archives under their new Czech names.

Greetings, At the following link is a resident list for Anger. Does anyone what year this is from? http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gbhs/Heimat_Bucher/Grafenreid_Parish/Anger/Anger_Residents.jpg I found it here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gbhs/Heimat_Bucher/Grafenreid_Parish/Grafenreid_Parish.html I'm researching the name Braun. Elisabeth Braun was born May 10, 1809 in Anger. She married Georg Adam Huber on June 25, 1832 in Tiefenbach, Kreis Cham. The parents of Elisabeth Braun were Adam Braun and Anna Reimer. I thought that the Anger church records would be in the parish of Ast or Treffelstein in Bavaria, or the parishes of Haselbach or Wassersuppen in Bohemia. Or were they in Grafenried? In any case, the records have probably been moved elsewhere. Could the Anger birth/marriage/death records be found at the city archive in Klentsch, Kreis Taus, Bohemia (Klenci Pod Cerchovem, Domazlice, Czech Republic)? Or in the archive at Pilsen (http://www.soaplzen.cz/)? On their website, they give a link to here: www.actapublica.cz but I thought that was the Moravian Land Archives at Brno. *confused* Thanks, Debbie

Kann diese Nachricht bitte jemand übersetzen. Vielen Dank dafür. Es geht wieder um Rudolf Wagner, geboren am 21. Oder 27. Juni 1902 in Karbitz/ Sudetenland. Er wanderte nach Amerika aus und war später Bürgermeister in Brooklyn wie auch sein Sohn. Bei der Einwanderung in Ellis Island gab er an, dass er aus Rotterdam stammt, was jetzt den Tatsachen entspricht, denn er ist frühzeitig nach Holland gegangen und von dort aus nach Amerika ausgewandert.
