Hi Gordon, No connections to the names you mentioned. My Bohemian ancestors are Bilek, Nadada, and Wolf, as stated on American documents. I have no idea if they spelled them different back in the mid 1800's when they were born. I sure would love to find out the village name. Ceske Budejovice was mentioned on their obits, which were in Bohemian. Enjoy your visit this summer. I am going to Chicago in June, and will be visiting the Bohemian National Cemetery where their ashes are contained. I may have to hire someone in Czech Republic to search records for me.
