Karen, Thank you for sending this site to the list. I was wondering if you know of a site that has downloadable pictures of Moravia in the late 1800s and even early than that. My great-grandfather immigrated from that area in abt 1880 and I want to include pictures of the area and history of the area for the family history book and am writing for my children and grandchildren. By the way, according to my great-grandfather's passport, his occupation was a day laborer and would like to find a site that would describe the socio-economic structure of that era. Once again, thank you for your willingness to help the group in their unending genealogical quest.
