Searching of relative
Do you know or suppose that your relative was a member of Eastern Czechoslovak revolt (or Western, Southern), and want to know more? Than I advise you to do following steps.

1) Open on-line Database of Czechoslovak military units' membres in WW2.

2) You will see following form on web page: "Příjmení" means "Cognomen", "Jméno" = "Name", "Místo narození" = "Place of birth".


3) Write "Cognomen" in first line and on the right side choose third option "Databáze příslušníků čs. vojenských jednotek v zahraničí za 2. sv. války". After it push button "Vyhledat" = "Search".


On picture above you can see example for "Cognomen" Gelbič. If you are not sure with Czech diacritic, write in line first letter of "Cognomen", in my example letter "G".

4) You will get results a) for concrete "Cognomen" or b) first letter "G".



According particular data in table ("Jméno" = "Name", "Příjmení" = "Cognomen", "Rok narození" = "Year of birth", "Měsíc narození" = "Month of birth", "Den narození" = "Day of birth", "Místo narození" = "Place of birth") choose probable person and click on link "Zobrazit detail" = "Display detail".

5) You will get detailed information about person: "Číslo protokolu" = "Protocol number", "Kmenové číslo" = something like "Member number" (for rank and file), "Osobní číslo" = "Personal number" (for officers), "Příjmení1" = "Cognomen1", "Jméno" = "Name", "Příjmení2" = "Cognomen2", "Datum odvodu" = "Date of enlistment", "Místo odvodu" = "Place of enlistment", "Den narození" = "Day of birth", "Měsíc narození" = "Month of birth", "Rok narození" = "Year of birth", "Místo narození" = "Place of birth", "Národnost" = "Nationality", "Hodnost" = "Grade", "Datum úmrtí" = "Date of death", "Místo úmrtí" = "Place of death", "Okolnosti úmrtí" = "Condition of death", "Jednotka při úmrtí" = "Military unit in time of death".


6) After it contact corresponding military archive in Czech Republic or Slovakia to get short abstract or fully copy of personal folder of your relative. Don't forget quote "Member or Personal number". Good luck!
