Opinion

Right after my grandmother passed away in 1965, my cousin who lived in the flat above my grandmother telephoned me to tell me that she found a paper in grandma’s trunk in the attic, with names, birth dates and villages that were in Czechoslovakia and to ask would I be interested in it. I said yes and she mailed the paper to me. That paper sat in my drawer until I retired and then I started to do my family genealogy. My daughter emailed me one day and told me that she found a genealogist outside of Prague. I emailed him and asked him to do my four lines for me. I emailed him what my cousin sent to me and he said that he lived about 30 minutes away from these villages and that I gave him more information than most people do.
