Some of you already use this website, and some of you have never heard of it. But after the last update they made, you definitely want to know about it!

I'm so excited that I had to write a blog post about it right away. :)

Originally, Matriky Online was a website offering another way to browse parish books of the Hradec Králové (formerly Zámrsk) archives and some other sources. But the last update brought something completely new - a gazetteer of Czech parish books!

And what is even better - it's available in English too!

Check the link below for more information (and the link to the website)! 👇
