If this book is still available for purchase it would likely be through the New Hradec, North Dakota Church of Saints Peter and Paul. It very likely is also in the Dickinson Library and New Hradec Church Library. I do not have scans of this or parts of this book on my WEB site and will not unless later I seek to and obtain such permission from the Church.

The book title is: The Church of Saints Peter and Paul: 1898 - 1998, New Hradec, North Dakota. It was produced by the Church of Saints Peter and Paul Church Parish Centennial History Book Committee. Content comes from families and members of the Church. This 363 page book was printed by Professional Printing, Dickinson, North Dakota 58601, Telephone 701-483-8351.

One hundred eighty-four pages of this book is Family Histories with pictures. Among other things, within this book are important clues to early Czech/Bohemian settlements in the Dickinson, North Dakota area and specifically, New Hradec. New Hradec community is about ten miles northwest of Dickinson. The book includes accounts of Church member ancestors leaving Crimea, South Russia, Czechoslovakia, Bohemian, Moravia and other points and arriving in America and New Hradec. As with all emigrants and immigration, somewhere in this book or in other Dickinson area family and historical accounts are the names of the first person or families who came to this area and was the first to leave their old homeland for this destination. It is these courageous people whom others followed. Dianne (Lisko) & Fred Matson 2 December 2006 |
