Last night, in a late-night web-browsing session, I googled "Tabor" which is one of the places we will be going to look at records and found this blog.

In one of the photos, there is a translator identified who is from the Czech Republic and traveled with the party, aiding them in talking with the locals. Dad mentioned that we would need the same if we have any hope of talking to some of the older people in the villages we will be visiting. So, I did a search for the translator, and lo and behold if she doesn't have a website advertising her services as a researcher and translator! But even more amazing is that she appears to live right in the area we will be visiting!! Dad is going to email her and we will see if we get a response. Here's a link to her webpage:
