We investigate star formation in translucent, high-latitude clouds. Our aim is to understand the star-formation history and rate in the solar neighbourhood. We used spectroscopic observations of newly found candidate H{alpha} emission-line stars to establish their pre-main-sequence nature. The environment was studied through molecular line observations of the cloud (MBM 18/LDN 1569) in which the stars are presumably embedded.
