Hello Listers, I'm new to this list. Originally I was led to believe by older family members that the KOMRSKA and MALECEK lines of our family were originally from Prague. Now I've found in St. John Nepomuc Church records in St. Louis, Missouir, that the Malecek's were from "Studene next Kraliky", and the Komrska's from "Radkovic next Strakonic". From what I can locate via the JewishGen town search map, Studene is 93.8 miles east of Prague and Strakonic is 61.8 miles SSW of Prague. I have access to FHC films, but would like to know what towns hold the records for these two villages. I've been told by a distant cousin who is also researching the Malecek's that Studene records are kept in Zamrsk. So I've ordered film #1181589 from my local Family History Center. But I'm not sure about Radkovic. I recently found an obituary that lists a whole line of children who I believe to be the original emigrants of my Komrska family. That article help greatly in putting all these family members together from a variety of census, church, and death records. Emigrants: Joseph Komrska b. Apr 1835 married to Anna ??? b. about 1834 (d. 28 Mar 1915 @ 81yrs.) Children: 1)Wenceslaus (William) Komrska b. Oct 1849 mg.#1 Mary Medek in U.S. mg.#2 Catherine Had 2)Joseph Komrska b. Jan 1853 mg.

VI: KOMERSKA, J. 60, Anna 48, Cyril 18, Methold 18, Rosalie 11 ; Austria ; Elbe (ship); 31 May 1884 (arrived) According to census records, the others emigrated: William - 1880/1881; Joseph - 1882; Mary - 1884 (married about 1884, also - possibly before emigrating); Nellie - 1884 (not listed with family, though) Frank - 1885 Any help is most appreciated, and I thank you.

Sorry, I made an error on this posting. THIS IS WRONG: Joseph Komrska b. Apr 1835 married to Anna ??? b. about 1834 (d. 28 Mar 1915 @ 81yrs.) This is CORRECT: Joseph Komrska born about 1826 as he died on 21 Jan 1886 at 60yrs. of age. Anna Komrska was born Apr 1835 according to 1900 census. She is listed widowed then, and went by the name of "Jesie" or "Josie". So I'm wondering if she had a first or second name of Josephine? She died on Mar 28, 1915, by church record at the age of 80yrs., though her obituary listed her as 81yrs. I also had a typing error on St. Louis, Missouri, where St. John Nepomuk's Catholic Church is. I apologize for any confusion -----Original Message----- From: Carol Rogers [mailto:homealot@earthlink.net] Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 7:15 PM To: CZECH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CZ] Komrska and Malecek Hello Listers, I'm new to this list.
