Someone of the contributors (I am sorry I dont know who) wrote following words about it: In the time of Emperor Joseph II. this numbers introduced 1770 first. If a village/town had a chapel or church in 1770 they might have used that as a starting point for numbering but then you would expect the house numbers to follow one another in some sort of order. Some houses were built between the old farms and needed also new numbers. All the best, Martin Pytr, Cz --- Odchozí zpráva neobsahuje viry.
