    3. I had no problem finding my Radkovice's on http://mapy.altas.cz/ My village has an "e" at the end of Radkovic. I used the English version and it lists all the Radkovice's. I open another window, click on my choice, play with the zooming to get a clearer idea of where the village is located. When I'm ready to explore another location, I return to the original window with the result hits and click on another location. -Lynn > "Carol Rogers" <homealot@earthlink.net> > > Lynn, > > I tried that map on http://mapy,altas.cz/ to find my Radkovice and > found it by doing a search for Volyne.

    3. Thanks, Lynn! I tried it again, using the column on the right to pick "Ceska replublica" as I could not see where English was offered. Then I typed in Radkovice (as nothing shows up for Ratkovic, which was the exact spelling on those two records) and got three choices. I picked the one for Strakonice, since my two records said: >Ratkovic next Volyne >Ratkovic, by Strakonic Then found what I believe to be the correct village, which is very close to Volyne. I'm thinking that the town between Volyne and Radkovice might not have been around back in the mid 1800's - so I feel good about this find. From all the German research I've done on the paternal side of my family, I've learned to watch for phonetic spelling, while at the same time being precise about the spelling of towns. So my feeling is that "t" phonetically is very similar to "d", and the "e" is basically "silent", so a priest writing a marriage record with Czech. information in St.Louis might very easilly have gotten "Ratkovic" from "Radkovice". But I don't think your Radkovice is the same as mine, is it? You previously sent to the List: 1) Sent by Felix Gundacker: "There are 3 Radkowitz in former Bohemia, and 1 in Moravia. All have the name Radkovice now. Radkowitz parish Budec, Moravia. The records are in the Bohemian Archives of Trebon and begin in 1657. Radkowitz, parish Cestice, Bohemia - Records are in the Bohemian Archives of Trebon and begin in 1674. Radkowitz, parish Horsice - records are in the Bohemian Archives of Pizsen and begin in 1744. This village also belongs to the parish of Prestice with records since 1875. Radkowitz, parish Mecin - records are in the Bohemian archives of Pizen and begin in 1715." So parish Cestice, parish Horsice, or parish Prestice .... which would mine fall under? At this time I'm thinking it would be Cestice, falling in State district archives Wittingau (Trebon).
