An applicant for a research study must include all available data. Without such data research is either impossible or calls for more time and therefore is more expensive. If an applicant has originals of registrar's certificates, he may greatly facilitate research by enclosing photocopies with his application for research study. The time required for processing of applications depends on the difficulty and complexity of the research study. Applicants can also ask for translation of documents for a fee of about $5.00 per page, as well as for a map from the place where the applicant´s ancestors lived.
Research studies from Archives will be forwarded to applicants through the company Archivex Praha, P.O. Box 38, 182 00 Praha 8, Czech Republic, telephone 011-420-2-6890970 or 876872, fax 011-420-2-6890970, or 877907, upon receipt of the charged amount. You can use as a payment method International Money Order, a check made payable to Archivex Praha, a certified check, or cash mailed by registered mail. The cost of genealogical research depends on the amount of time spent on it and its difficulty, generally $10.00-$14.00 per hour, plus $8.00 as an administrative fee. Additional expenses will be incurred for reproductions (microfilms, photocopies etc.).
