I have a certificate presented to my grandfather, which roughly translates to:
For his beautiful role in the struggle for the liberation of the Czechoslovak people from centuries of oppression, dedicated to Czech National Association of America." It is dated 1 March, 1919. It is signed by Masaryk, Vojta Benes, and one other person whose name I cannot make out. He is the president/chairman of the Association, I believe. It looks sort of like JT or GT Pirival. Can anyone help? I have a photo of it, but can't see how to attach it or copy and paste to this message.

if you can scan it and put it onto your computer, you can then upload it to a site like tinypic.com, which will give you a link. You can post the link here and people who click on it will be able to see the picture.

Sorry I can't help otherwise.

Thanks for the link to tinypic. I can't seem to get Palacky out of it. Here's the link to photo of the signature: http://tinypic.com/r/nywosz/5
hmmm... it does look like Pirival or maybe Perival, but I can't find it online anywhere (except as a word in Tamil). Sorry. Someone else may be able to offer better advice.

Thanks, jno. I'm hitting the same roadblocks even when I Google the Czech National Association. And I thought they had more legible writing in the olden days!
