Hello, Ken and G-B List. Thank you for the information on the Czech Archive site. I have been searching the Plzen Archive pages for several parishes after I registered, stumbling along with Google's translations to help, pretty much like your instructions. I put a 40 yr. old passport # in for Doc. number and it worked. I have seen messages that say that any number will work. I, too, have been having trouble loading some pages on some of the parishes that I've checked, My understanding is that they have Parishes A - J (Czech names) on-line now. It does seem worse since they "corrected" some of the problems. I can load some of the pages from a Parish book and all of a sudden I come to a page or pages that won't load, and then further on the pages load for awhile and then I come to another "gap" where pages won't load. I thought it might be my Browser (Firefox) as it sometimes "gives up" loading pages on other sites after I've been using it awhile, but it seems it is the site's problem. Frustrating to say the least, and I hope they can fix it soon. I don't know about the other archives, as so far my people are all in the Plzen area. Thanks again for your help. Marg McEuen
