In the frame on the right side of this page you will find a list of all
towns for which Jewish records may be accessed for the Czech Republic,
including Catholic sources of Jewish records (and some Protestant records
in Silesia) . For technical reasons, the Czech accents were
omitted before the list was sent to us.
..
This
list has been graciously provided for us by Felix Gundacker, a professional
genealogist for Austria, Bohemia and Moravia who has authored two books
detailing the available records. Following information about
the books, you will find a table that provides an explanation for the letter
codes accompanying each town entry in the list. If you scroll down
to that table, you can keep the codes in view as you look through the list
of towns (click
here).
..
Mailing
addresses for various Czech archives are listed after the letter code table
(click

NOTE:
Sometimes a Catholic "matrika" had some space in the back of the book for
special entries. The oldest books sometimes mention illegitimate children
in the back, instead of registering them within the normal birth records,
as happened later. Sometimes also children of "non-Catholic" persons were
recorded in the back of the registers, which mostly covered Jewish but
sometimes also Protestants, Hussites, etc. There does not seem to be a
clear rule when and where you can find such entries. Often the Archive
staff automatically refers requests about Jewish children to Prague, stating
that the local archives do not have Jewish material. This can be a case
of the staff not knowing that the material exists, or that there is such
a small chance to find anything that it is too much trouble for them to
waste time looking.
