Need Czech translation

Description

I received a letter written in Czech from a relative. She is answering some of my genealogy questions. It is hand written so I can not use google translator. Is there someone in the Milwaukee area who could help me translate and understand 3 pages?

Also, my wife and I will be traveling to the Czech Republic for a vacation. I have found other relatives in Prague and they want to meet us. I have practiced a few basic words of Czech and would like to know if I am pronouncing the words correctly.
Thank you,
Mike Shimeta

Hi! I have long remembered a posting to a message board, maybe this one, in which you asked for anyone who has Navratil or Koudelik in your family tree. I do! Did you post this or am I remembering incorrectly? It's been years since I saw this posting and have always regretted not answering. Also, maybe you are related to Curtis Allen who reached out to me on the Ancestry DNA site. 

If any of this resonates with you, please email me directly at sdivitale@alumni.emory.edu
Thank you! Best to you and your family.

Upon further review, I think the letter is written in Croatian.
Still, I would enjoy practicing a few Czech words with someone.
Thank you.
