I live in the midwest...in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is the Czech National Museum...due to the fact that the city has the highest percentage of people of Czech ancestry in the United States.

He promised a copy of the book to me, which records the exact location of his birth place, burial site, etc. As soon as I receive it, I will publish more information about my very "colorful" grandfather. And oh, how I would love to visit Prague! My roots run deep in the Czech Republic...Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872782487663128677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16724536.post-69069665833857149712008-03-04T12:14:00.000-05:002008-03-04T12:14:00.000-05:00I thought the print on the dictionary was Czech or...I thought the print on the dictionary was Czech or Slovak.
