The ResearcherÕs Guide to the Czech Land Books is a unique book for everyone who is interested in the Czech Land Books and the use of the land records in genealogical research and in compiling family history. There is very little information about this unique source of information available in English and this book is the first tool which may help many to open this source to the English-speaking audience.
In seventeen chapters the book provides the information about the land books, their use primarily in genealogical research and most importantly about the context in which they were used. The context is especially crucial for understanding and using the land records correctly, making the book valuable even for those who neither wish nor dare to start their own research but who simply want to learn about the lives and status of their ancestors in the Czech Lands. The ResearcherÕs Guide explains many questions such as the concepts of the people subjected to the noble owners of land, the nature of the forced labour known as robota, or the character of the farmersÕ relationship to his land and the property transfers within the family. Readers may also learn about many terms and phrases they already know other sources which may still be unclear or misinterpreted.
This volume provides the basics for successful research. You will read about the nature of the land records, where you can look for them, and how to choose the right book for your research. The ResearcherÕs Guide also explains how you can effectively search land books for a relevant record and we set forth their basic structure so that you may parse them into more easily interpretable blocks. This book contains special sections dealing with the topics of abbreviations and signs used in the records for various measures and currencies, all of which are accompanied with plentiful examples. Finally, the book has particular chapters which show how the land books can deal with common genealogical problems such as missing or conflicting information from church registers and the use of the Òroof namesÓ.
The second half of the book contains more than thirty examples of carefully transcribed land records from original sources for you to use to practice your own transcription skills. These include an exact transcription, a translation into modern Czech, and a translation to English. Each record is accompanied by a detailed commentary and notes that explain both the essence of the record and its various minutiae.

Decent, but....
Item Package Quantity: 6, Color: Green
These magnets were decent, but not as strong as I hoped. They are good enough to hold a shovel or helmet, but anything over 10+ pounds did not work.

Good to average purchase but they work.
Item Package Quantity: 10, Color: Green
Magnetic hooks are well made, the hooks have plenty of strength. The magnets on the hooks aren’t quite as stout as they should be, but all in all they were a good buy.

Great holding capacity for hand tools
Item Package Quantity: 6, Color: Orange
I needed to add space to my workshops metal shelves and these are perfect for hanging hand tools around the metal bracing. They have enough holding capacity to hang a small sledgehammer. Now I can readily locate tools and allow for more space on the shelves.

Fabulous! I’ve purchased these more than once!
Size: 12 Inch, Color: Gold, Size: 12 Inch, Color: Gold
These are beautiful and the perfect size for the 12” wide boards I use. The lumber isn’t cut to exactly 12” so there is a slight gap in the back towards the wall which I like for cords, and the boards stay in place with bottom screws. These are very sturdy, thick, and solid. I have not had a single problem with any of them. They are easy to install and very functional. Definitely worth the cost. I have purchased a couple of times.
