In a transcript from my Czech genealogy, there appears a term for the cause of death of an infant - psotnik - there is a mark over the i . What is that? Another term that appears for the cause of death for an older person is stickfluss Does anyone know what that means? Some other terms that puzzle me. Reeve Iron Cow Hammelknecht - knecht at ewe lambs - father - opilio - opidis I have been told that there are some records ;Zastavnni panstvi Krivoklat , branch archive in Trebon, situated in Cesky Krumloov; as to moving of shepards, permitting of weddings. This was emailed to me from a researcher in Pardubice. However, I don't understand as Krivoklat is a castle, and I don't believe it is near Trebon. And, Cesky Krumlov is very much south towards the border of Austria so I can't figure this out. He did not speak English and I do not speak Czech so you can see we did not understand each other. He has dropped out of sight so I can't email him again. Krivoklat is a possibility as it is not far from the area of my ancestors. Karl Herink, born about 1620 in Zavidov, Rakovnik District.
