On the subject of Vaclav. It was my father-in-law's given name. He changed it to James. He said it has the same meaning. Last name Vacek also means James. So Wenceslas also means James or Vacek. Some time back I printed off a dictionary of Czech names and they also agreed. Try this ... http://members.tripod.com/~zlimpkk/Genealogy/czechsurnames.html. Therefore Vaclav Vacek would be James James. Dvorak means a farmer having his free farm, etc. Hope this is of same help. I ran across it by accident and it has been of some help. Tymna
