­Hi Does anyone have any idea which Vitin would be closest to ­ Sevetin in SE Bohemia. I want to make sure I get to the correct Vitin where is it? My Michelin doesn't show it but Sheltaseeker on the web lists several. One is north and one too far west. There are two close to Sevetin. One south and east of Sevetin and north and east of Ceske Budjeovice where I will be staying latitudes and longitudes are 49 05 and 14 33. This is the one I think it is. The other possibility is north and east of Sevetin at 40 35 and 14 22. I have a house number so can at least find the place if I know what town to go to. My great grandmother Anna Viduna's family is from there. I will be using public transport as I have a catarack which really wants to be removed (when I come back) I have contacted my researcher but he is mp off working around the country and I really need to know by next week as I need to pay for my bookings by the 21st and of course want to book for the right place.

For locating a town in the Czech Republic, I think one should learn to use the Mapy web server: http://mapy.atlas.cz/aquariusnet/frm_uvod.asp A link to it is at the Mail List web site at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~elainetmaddox/czgenealogy.htm It is under On-Line Research tools. ShtetlSeeker has merits, but sometimes it lists towns that no longer exist except for a possible Jewish cemetery. On Mapy, there appears to be only one Vitín listed (note accent over the last "i"). It is a "stone's throw from Sveten (carka over the "S" and second "e"). Based on the information you provided, I see no need to look further. If you have any problems locating it, let me know.
