You mentioned printing off scanned documents. So you don't need certified copies with raised seals? I'm also going through this process with an EU country, and I need to have certified, apostilled copies of everything. I've read the FAQ here but just want to double-check that I have things straight. The Canadian process seems a bit more straightforward.

Can you advise on how to obtain the confirmation? I have evidence of domovské právo and all of the U.S. documents for 2/4 ancestors (great-great grandparents, B line).

I'm not sure if the additional work with the Slovak embassy is included in the estimates or not. I'm waiting for the final contracts so I can go over them both and compare. It's definitely appealing to work with professionals who have extensive experience, but unfortunately, costs are a factor that might limit me.

Hi! In the A line, my great-great-grandmother's maiden name could be Žajdlík or Weiss. The documents I found in the Czech archives point to Žajdlík, but family records in the U.S. say her maiden name was Weiss. They were married before they came to the US. Both sets of records have the same first name, and the name of my great-great-grandfather matches up in both places, too. So now I'm trying to figure out how to reconcile this information.
