Not sure if anybody responded to this, but here you go: The spelling of the Havlena surname is not important from a genealogical point of view. Up until mid 1800's the form of a surname was not binding, so a particular surname was routinely spelled in various ways. This depended, for instance, on the language of the record. Original forms of surname spelling are retained only as complementary information in genealogical searches.

I never heard of Polish marks either. Just a thought--could it be that the original document uses the word zloty, and maybe the translator simply rendered it as marks when translating into English? -- Gary N.

Hello! My grandfather was Cvitko (Florian) Curic/Churich and my grandmother was Kate Ilic/Illich/Elich. Cvitko was born in Bihac, Bosnia in 1891 and Kate was born in Gospic, Croatia in approx. 1892. I am trying to make a family tree and need info on their parents and grandparents. Thank you, Edith "Edie" Sando [email protected]

I have been corresponding with several Juskas in this country and over there researching this name.

Is there something in or for Windows 95 that will show you the current keyboard configuration in a window, if one selects an alternate keyboard such as German, or Czech, etc. In order to handle these different character sets, one should get LANG.EXE from Microsoft. It'll give you many different keyboards and the Arial, Courier, and New Times Roman fonts acceptable for at least a dozen languages. Please reply by e-mail, if at all possible, and I will summarize to the net if interest warrants. --Ralph -- Dr. Ralph P.

Are there any Czech phonebooks online? Are there any resources online for finding Czech postal codes? Thanks

I am trying to help a CSAGSI member find her ancestral village, Podmokly. There are four Podmoklys on mapQuest. She is confused . Her g-frandfather's obit says he was from Podmokly. His death certfificate says he was born in Ziskovec and a passanger list says he was from Zwikovec. Any ideas? Is Ziskovec/Zwikovec near Podmokly and which Podmokly?

My great grandmother's maiden name was Rezac (Czech). We have a family tree that goes back to about 1550. Does anyone have any other information regarding this name?

Can anyone tell me anything about the origins of the Czech surname Vlcek. I've heard that it is a derivative of the Croatian name Vucenovic. Anybody know anything? Thanks-
