Join me for a new session of my online Family Tree University Course: Discovering Your Czech and Slovak Roots: Strategies for Searching Over Here and Over There. The course begins Monday, February 28, 2011.


Researchers with Czech or Slovak roots often battle certain brick walls—do surname issues, border changes and language troubles sound all too familiar to you?
