Hello, I don't write english very well, because I speak spanish, I'm from Perú. The only I know is that my great-grandfather came from Czechoslovakia. His name is JOSE REMAR SAJIC born in 1880 more or less at Pisek Can you tell me what is the best way to know/find information about him?. When and where does he born? Are there books or documents that can help me? Are there information about this available online? How can I obtain his birth document? Sorry, so many questions in one email. Thank you. Best regards José Flores Remar Lima Perú.
Dear Jose, The list of names what was sent to you by another contributors are not IMHO names of Czechoamericans but Americans with Yugoslav (Serbian, Croatian etc.) ancestors. Because names like Budimir, Grujica etc. are not usuall in the Czech republic but in the ex-Yugoslavia and the letter C in SAJIC is written there with diacritical mark. If your ancestors came from Pisek surroundnings, the correct form of your name could be ZAJIC (means "hare" in Czech) letter C without any diacritical marks. Letter Z could be probably changed by German clerk for S (Germans pronountiation of S is the same like Czech pronotiation of Z). Unfortunately for you, the lastname ZAJIC is very frequent in the Czech Republic.
