Recognizing the name means nothing. As someone has already said, they have a tendency to move around and change with the country. If you have already done: census records, marriage records, children's birth/baptism records, land records, draft list, death records, passenger lists, etc., they you can say you have hit a brickwall.

I'm trying to locate the Czech village Chechohrad (Czechohrad, Czechograd) which is supposedly near Melitopol and the village Bohemka which is supposed to be near Simferopol. These are the birth villages of my grandparents (PIRKL, MEHULKA). Any help you can give would be highly appreciated. Larry Pirkl

Regarding the surname Mikula, I knew an older lady with this surname, she was Ruthenian from Eastern Slovakia (former Austro-Hungarian Empire). Joy K -----Original Message----- From: Gary N.

In Vera Laska's book "Czechs in America" page 69; Jan Novak, who emigrated from Bohemia to America in 1852, describes his departure and mentions that neighbors accompanied him for three hours ". . .of the way to the river Kamejka. . ." and that ". . .from there I took off by ship to Prague . . ." He identifies his regional center as Budejovice. Where is this river? or has the name been changed? I have been unable to locate on my tourist maps. Jim in CA
