I found this site while looking up Czech Christmas traditions. My father's family is Czech (with family in Nebraska), but unfortunately, my grandmother, Anna Jasa, and my father have passed. Thus I have started searching for family and heritage.

Love your site!  Love all the Czech holiday ideas.  Because of them, we are planning our first Czech Christmas this year 2009.  Your site has more information than either of our parents could give us even though they both have ancestors from Bruno, Czechoslovakia.  Thanks again.

I am a Czech researcher being interested in post-war aviation history and looking for living relatives or/and descents of Mr. Ernest Ralph STEHLIK (b. 18 February 1897 in Elk Creek,NE; d. February 1976). His parents should be Mr. Rudolf STEHLIK (a Czech immigrant) and Mrs. Emma STEHLIK (nee STUART). He was a Protestant by religion and single by 1948-49. Mr. Ernest R. STEHLIK was an aircraft mechanic and in the half of 1940s, he was working as a field service representative of the Lockheed Aircraft Corp., for a Lockheed "Constellation" Airliner family (L-049, L-649 and 649A, L-749 and L-749A Models) mainly (he was e.g. called as "Mr. Constellation" by the TWA crews on their North Atlantic run because what he knews about the "Constellation" was not even in the maintenance manuals). His last known residence was Ash Grove, MO.
Also any contacts with someone who knew him is more then welcomed. Thank you very much in advance.

Greetings from Prague, Czech Republic. I would like to contact Casne family via e-mail. Could you help me? I have found on your website article about Audrey Casne (Chapter Queen 2006-2007). I have deleted the e-mail address of her parents (by my fault). Susan Casne is my cousin and lives in Plattsmouth.
Thanks for your help, Happy Easter.

Bill - Again I must commend you for a wonderful and informative website.  It's great!!

Perhaps your readers would be interested in the Czech/American Mexican Riviera Polka Cruise hosted by The Dumpling Newsletter and Maggie's Fabric Patch.  It can be seen with downloadable flyers at www.thedumplingnews.com/baja.htm

We have 4 polka bands, 3 polka parties, and international singing star Jozef Ivaska joining us along with special guests Cecilia Rokusek, VP SVU and Helene Cincebeaux.  Add this to exotic ports of call, exquisite excursions, warm and balmy weather and it equals a "epic trip of a life-time."

Interested people can call me at 954-989-2708 or my cell at 786-489-4085.

Many thanks for a wonderful website Bill ... I know you work long and hard on it.

Although I'm not Czech (a Pole as you can see!) I have come to love the CR and the Czech people. I was fortunate to spend 10 days in Prague last Spring on vacation and had a most wonderful time! I found everyone I met to be very kind and hospitable and very courteous - even though I only spoke a little Czech! I plan to return as soon as possible. Your website is fantastic and I thoroughly enjoy all the holiday traditions. Many of my friends are fast becoming Czech-o-philes because of me! Thank you very much and I look forward to reading more about your wonderful country and its people!
