World Chodové Genealogy and Family History at your fingertips!

ChodovePeople.Com and The Chodové Border Patrol of Bohemia Descendants would like to welcome you to the Internet, to Genealogy and to the World of Family History!

This site is dedicated to the Chodove (Chodové & Chod) People from the Chodsko region of Bohemia. The Chod guarded the borders along with their trustworthy companions the Bohemian Sheppards (Chodský pes, Chodenhund) and their cakans. They were Czech speaking people granted rights and freedom by their King for hundreds of years - Certified by Proclomation, only to be held under serfdom by the Austrian Empire. The Chodové wanted their freedom and so many migrated from the Chodsko Region of Bohemia. Their journey took them to Galicia and beyond, and on to North America (Canada & USA). They became the Pioneers of great Nations. Our journey on this website takes us through their history and keeps them alive for future generations!

About the Webmaster & Genealogy Keeper, Paulette Gilchuk:
Paulette built this website many years ago for Roy Rushka. Since then Greg (A Chod Descendant, hubby) and her have started caring for the family history data related to the Chodove People. They are able to bring all this information to the Chod family in one place.

Books:
We provide in print "The WolfDogs" which is the english translated version of the czech story Psohlavci. We also have The Chod History and Colonists & Pioneers. If you would like any of these books please contact Paulette. Or have patients as I figure out how to get a webstore working with this wonderful application!

Chod Ancestry & Sources:
All the source materials and genealogy / family history related information that we had available to our subscribers is unavailable at this time. We are trying to ensure the safety of the information that we provide and so until we can do that we will not post any of the information.

Old Site Subscribers:
If you were a subscriber when the site was one of my own builds instead of this nifty drupal application, please contact Paulette ASAP! She would like to add you into this site with ease.

CHOD INFO:
Normally within the walls if this site is vast amounts of historical data based upon the Chodové People of Bohemia. At the moment, we have had to remove the data. Don't worry, its not gone, just sitting off to the side waiting for a major update and a nice site facelift before it is all back up again.

And, there will be new data as well. We have managed to find cousins across the world, hook up with a wonderful professor who is studying the Chods rich heritage, get into contact with archives that are holding important historical data about our family, and add to the over 20,000 individuals we have found to be related to the Chod.
