Below is the research results from correspondence Iva made via a Catholic organization in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic:

A letter from Dr. Hradecka, Director of the Regional State Archiv in Prague-Borivoj Indra, was forwarded to the Embassy of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic in Washington D.C. The letter was next mailed to Iva Zajic Lowry (Nebraska) on December 9, 1963, and translated by Mr. Rand Langhorst (Nebraska). Below is the translation:

Dear Madam,
We are forwarding to you the information about your ancestors, whose foundations in your requests, we succeeded to find here. Unfortunately, we could not search after the individuals by the names of Matthias Vancur and Barbara Salla, since we didn't known from whence they came. Was it perhaps the parents of the wife of Frantisek Zajic, who immigrated to the USA? In case that, this was so, we would have needed to know from whence she came. Provided you have some more recent data at disposal, send it to us through the mediation of the Czechoslovak Embassy in Washington, D.C. and we will gladly try again for you.

A list of the Zajic descendents follow, and the letter is signed.
