Genealogy Genealogy has taken me many places, both real and virtual. My maternal grandparents were first generation immigrants to the US. This led me to research on Europe. My scandinavian research was easily done in the US through the family history libraries of the Mormon Churches in my area. Later, I had help with my swedish research by email with Gary T. Horlacher, an accredited genealogist. I then traveled to Norway and Sweden in Scandinavia to understand the lives my grandparents led and left. My paternal grandmother was the first generation born in the US from Bohemia, later Czechoslovakia. The Czech Republic has not yet allowed anyone to microfilm their records and I recruited, Tom Zahn of Pathfinders to research my family from the Czech Republic. I can highly recommend their services. Their web site www.pathfinders.cz describes their services in more detail. Later he hosted me when I visited Prague. He took me on a travel adventure back in time in that land of castles and classical music. He had even looked up some very distant cousins who shared some wonderful food and of course their local brew with me. For other Czech research links. My main interests have centered around
