Descendants of Vaclav Šrámek and Catherina Hruska

Baptismal and Marriage Records, TIFF Images

This web page is devoted to pictures of actual documents, including both baptismal records and marriage records from parish books. If a person is deceased, the priest entered a small cross (+) in front of the name, or used the word "zesnulém" which means deceased.

The records from Europe were sent on a microfilm. We gratefully acknowledge the University of Nebraska at Omaha library for its microfilm to digital image workstation, which was used to convert the microfilm. The resulting images are TIFF files. At my desk, I could not view the images over the Internet, but at the teacher's desk in the classroom, the images could be viewed over the Internet. It must be a function of whichever operating system is installed. Each image can be saved and then opened for viewing with the Windows Photo Editor. Note: the images are quite large, with most of them being about 1/2 meg in size. Downloading on a dial-up connection will take a LONG time. To download a file, try right-clicking on the link, and then select Save. Alternatively, you can download a zipped file 18 Meg and get all of them at once. This option should only be used by readers who know about unzipping files and who have a high-speed connection.

The process has not been tested on Apple computers or on older versions of Internet Explorer or on Netscape.
