The ResearcherÕs Guide to the Czech Land Books is a unique book for everyone who is interested in the Czech Land Books and the use of the land records in genealogical research and in compiling family history. There is very little information about this unique source of information available in English and this book is the first tool which may help many to open this source to the English-speaking audience.
In seventeen chapters the book provides the information about the land books, their use primarily in genealogical research and most importantly about the context in which they were used. The context is especially crucial for understanding and using the land records correctly, making the book valuable even for those who neither wish nor dare to start their own research but who simply want to learn about the lives and status of their ancestors in the Czech Lands. The ResearcherÕs Guide explains many questions such as the concepts of the people subjected to the noble owners of land, the nature of the forced labour known as robota, or the character of the farmersÕ relationship to his land and the property transfers within the family. Readers may also learn about many terms and phrases they already know other sources which may still be unclear or misinterpreted.
This volume provides the basics for successful research. You will read about the nature of the land records, where you can look for them, and how to choose the right book for your research. The ResearcherÕs Guide also explains how you can effectively search land books for a relevant record and we set forth their basic structure so that you may parse them into more easily interpretable blocks. This book contains special sections dealing with the topics of abbreviations and signs used in the records for various measures and currencies, all of which are accompanied with plentiful examples. Finally, the book has particular chapters which show how the land books can deal with common genealogical problems such as missing or conflicting information from church registers and the use of the Òroof namesÓ.
The second half of the book contains more than thirty examples of carefully transcribed land records from original sources for you to use to practice your own transcription skills. These include an exact transcription, a translation into modern Czech, and a translation to English. Each record is accompanied by a detailed commentary and notes that explain both the essence of the record and its various minutiae.

Runs big, and fabric may not be same color as picture
Color: Medium Grey, Size: 16, Color: Medium Grey, Size: 16
This suit was a good find for us, as we usually dress up for church, and my 13 yo son often wears suits. He normally wears a size 16, so that’s what we ordered, and in dark charcoal gray. The suit we got was a light, heathered gray that didn’t look much like the one in the picture. It was very wrinkly and thin, and a little scratchy. Also, the sleeves were way too long and the torso cut of the jacket was pretty wide. The pants were very large in the waist, but fit him decently in the length (he’s 5’4” and weighs 90 lbs). Overall the suit looked like it was drowning him, so I would order a size down unless you have a larger child/teen. Because of the ill fit, I haven’t had the chance to see what the suit looks like on him as it’s supposed to, but I guess I’ll return it or wait a year or two until he fills it out a bit more. Not overly impressed with the quality, so I’m not sure I’d pay $55 for this one again.

A good First Communion suit
Size: 6, Color: White, Size: 6, Color: White
This suit looks and feels really nice even though it’s not 100% linen. My son is an average size 7 year old, but I got a size 6 so that the fit would be nice and snug and not loose and baggy. It was the right choice. Comes with a bow tie which is nice, a tie (which is very cheap and poorly made) and a pocket square.

Very stylish💜💜
Size: 6, Color: Light Blue, Size: 6, Color: Light Blue
This little suit for boys is very stylish. I bought it for my grandson for a wedding occasion and it looked very nice. The fabric is not too thick so for the summer wedding it was great. I pick the blue color and it looked fantastic!
