The problem with Email is that you never know if anyone received your message. Since the only contact there seems to be for them, you may have to use snail mail to contact them if they do not reply to a 2nd or 3rd Email reminding them that you are waiting for them to acknowledge that they have received the message. If you ever get a FAX number, that may be the best way to go. From the data at their website I would guess that you should send a specific request regarding which years of census you want searched, for which places and for which names. I noticed that they charge $30 per household per census for translation but I did not see how much copies of original pages would cost without translation. Karen

I received the following reply regarding how much copies of original pages would cost without translation: "We're currently unable to provide photocopies of the original records: the Czech archives made a new law which requires professional researchers to pay approximately $60 per photocopy. Since each census record requires a minimum of 4 photocopies, that would be $240 just to photocopy one census record." I received an e-mail based on a specific census request in a few days.
