On the home page click on: Family research in Boehmen, Maehren and Austrian Schlesien . On the next page click on the letter of the alphabet that includes an ancestral parish. You may not find your place name because the translator translates everything, even place names!! However the Czech place names next to the translated ones are left intact. If you know the Czech name of your place you will find it. Tachau is "translated" as Tacstrike but the CZ Tachov is next to it. If you click on the link for churchbooks i n the Tachau listing there is another list of place names included in those books and some of them are also translated. On that page is says which ARCHIVE has the records. After you print the page in English start over without the translation and the print the page in German. That way you will have the correct German spelling of all the place names.. To use this website one must know the name of the ancestral parish as well as the birthplace. They may not be the same. The name of the parish is the place where the church was located. Karen Karen
