One of the primary benefits to being a member of CGSI is that it gives you access to 30+ years of Naše rodina articles in searchable PDF format. "Czech" it out here!

Thirty years ago, Naše rodina included the following books and family histories in Vol. 2 Issue 1, pages 11-13. I tried to find out if these resources are still available, and was shocked to discover that some were, some weren't, and some seem to have been completely forgotten. I have highlighted these in yellow. I think that it is a pity, especially when it comes to family histories that were so lovingly and painstakingly compiled. Do any sleuths want to help us track down these long lost resources so we can add them to our digital library? Most likely many of them are actually located in our physical library in Minnesota!
