Join three nationally renowned genealogists for our first Czech and Slovak Genealogy Workshop.
Genealogy experts Rich Custer, Jim Hudec, and Michal Razus will guide beginner and advanced family historians alike on a tour de force of genealogical records available to uncover insights into your Czech, Slovak, and Carpatho-Rusyn ancestors.
Speakers will reveal where to turn for the largest caches of Czech and Slovak birth, marriage, and death records available online. Attendees will also learn the best strategies for discovering the home villages and parishes of their ancestors. Other record sets to be explored include censuses, military files, and historic maps.
This workshop will feature multiple sessions focused on Czech and Slovak genealogical research as well as one lecture specifically dedicated to tracing Carpatho-Rusyn ancestors in Western Pennsylvania.
Archivists from the History Center’s Detre Library & Archives and representatives from the Archives & Records Center of the Diocese of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh’s Archives & Special Collections will highlight the best archival record sets in their collections to trace Czech, Slovak, and Rusyn ancestors locally.
Members from other local genealogical and heritage organizations will also be on hand to share insights and best practices with workshop attendees.

Admission is $30 for History Center members and $40 for non-members.
