I'm not an expert ... and this question comes up often. Jan translates to John. Vaclav doesn't really translate to anything in English. However, some Vaclav's were known by other American names. But that does not mean that they were really translations -- just names that people or families used. Keeping in mind this statement, some people say their Vaclav's were known as James. But remember -- Vaclav really has no translation.

It seems to be the popular choice, but Vaclav actually translates as per the letter below from a Czech subscriber. Elaine *********** > Does the name Wenczl suggest where this family originally came from? Is it > still Czech? > > Bob Wencl Bob, your surname has origin in the given name Vaclav (in English Wenceslaus). This has been a very common given name for already many houndreds of years, probably already since the Czech king St. Vaclav was murdered by his brother Boleslav in 935. Surnames that originated from given names are very rarely able to help to suggest where the family could come from.

Marj, Vaclav does not translate to William or Jan. Many who came to the US adopted another name or were given another name recognized in English. There is no English equivalent to Vaclav and Jan is equivalent to John. ron At 07:39 PM 11/26/2007, you wrote: >I have a translation question and hope that some one can help. > > Is Vaclav translated to english Jan? > > Many thanks, Marj > > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to >CZECH-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the >quotes in the subject and the body of the message

I am forwarding this information for anyone who might have an interest in collecting or trading for Czech stamps. I have no affiliation with this group, but I do have a cousin in the Czech Republic who is a collector. That is how I learned about this site. It is my impression that most of these collectors trade Czech (and other European) stamps for US stamps.

Author: splendipity Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.ethnic.czech/383.3.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Have you looked at the original image for what is filed as "Joseph Rachler" in 1900? I realize it is TRANSCRIBED that way, but the image appears otherwise. You are looking for Agnes' married name of Reckholder, correct? The middle part of the surname was written over in the 1900 census, so whoever transcribed the record picked up the beginning and end of the name, leaving out the middle letters and misreading others. If you blow up the image to 150% or more, you can make out the letters more clearly. The second letter, "a" is a mispelling of "e", but there are two letters following that which have loops upward, but hard to read with the ink covering them. I believe one to be a "k" and one an "h". The "o" is covered up, then the "l" shows, then part of the "d" as the bottom partial circle of that letter is covered up. Finally the "er" completes the name, R-a-c-k-h-o-l-d-e-r. The reason I thought you might like the 1900 census is that is the only census that gives the month and year of birth. Besides, if you found Agnes married in that census, you would want to look for a mg. date prior to the enumeration date. Unfortunately, there is no date written on the top of that particular census sheet, so I'm not sure if the preprinted "June, 1900" is correct or not as many times the census taker writes in the day of the month. To follow up on this, I checked for any other Joseph Rendler in New York state census and found only one in 1930 who was not even close to you Joseph's age. The reason you do not find Agnes by her maiden name of Ralbovsky/Ralborsky is that she was newlywed married as reflected in the census for 1900 - married "0" years. A previous e-mail listed children born in 1902 in Queens. This Joseph and Agnes were also living in Queens in 1900 - Ward 4 on Franklin Avenue. So I'm again suggesting that you check out churches in that area for a possible marriage record and baptisms for the children as they might have lived at the same location for a few years after they were married.

If your research will be in the Trebon archives, and my guess is it will, Joseph Rek has done a fantastic job for me. I have kept him busy a lot during this past year and found him (actually his sister does the work, he does the translation) to do an excellent job. She is local to Trebon and will only search that archive, so she knows it's contents very well. They have been affordable, thorough, and very easy to work with.

Do you have approx. ages for Peter and Anna? And perhaps the children. I believe you are mistaken -- records have not been lost -- but with a common name, it could be more time-consuming to find the record. Have you found them in the census yet?
