I am researching Janicek/Jenicek/Entler/Neczkar surnames from Southern Moravia. Specifically, they are from the Tavikovice/Dobronice/Resice area just north of Znojmo and SW of Brno. Please get a hold of me if you have information to share. Karen Fletcher

I seek contact with anyone whose research contains: * copies of documented evidence *of births, deaths, and marriages *occuring before 1900 *in the Czech Republic regions of ORLIK N VLTAVOU, PISEK, BECHYNE, MILEVSKO *on subjects with the surname KALAL [KALLAL, KALA. KALLA, KALAL, KALAT] *and the surname KAZIMOUR [KAZIMOR, KASIMOUR, KASIMORE, KASIMOR]. I hold three / five generations of info on these surnames obtained from the TREBON archives, extending backward from 1853, and also have compiled six generations of descendants in North America extending from 1853 to present. Goal; share info to build a larger ancestry record in the 1800s in the Czech lands. Jim in CA

Can anyone help or give advice on this? I had requested a family report from the Slovak Republic archives , and they responded that they had found information on my family and to send a cashier's check for $71.10 US to the address on the letter , which was the Archives in Presov. I did this on 4 March and still have not received any report. I have written them a follow up letter, and there has been no response to that either. The bank reports they have not received the cashier's check back, so no one has cashed it. How long does it take to get a report once you send the money? Is this usual? What can I do to get this report? Thanks. Katy

Hi, I am trying to locate a town that was listed on my great grandmothers death certificate. The place of birth given was Dajhl,Yugoslavia. She was Serbian. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Beth Popovich [email protected]

Looking for any information on the Winkfein name. Please contact me [email protected]

In the book Geschichte der Stadt Lengerich by Gert Schumann Band I, is documented in the "Knechtegeldgegister von Jahr 1595" a W. Hasenkamp - Heile Kotten, I am would guess this to be a farmer of a full farm at the time. I would be interested if you were to intersect with my Kleppker line in Langerich, which I find one. He is only listed as Kleppker, Brinksitzer in this same register. I have not completed my research in this area, only started and only picked up this book when we were there last month. I have documented some germans who emigrated to Holland on our home page, but mostly those who went to near Amsterdam. My 3rd great grandfather Christoph Poser is documented to have died in Roterdam in about 1808, so would also be interested in any connections you run into on this name as well. It is from this line we are connected to the Kleppker and Schroer families in Lengerich. Good job on your home page as well.

Cheri- I am interested in the surname Zajicek. I have Joseph A. Zajicek born on Mar. 18, 1863 in Bohemia, and who came to Chicago. His wife, Josephine Kremel, (m: 1887 in Chicago) was from Radinicich, but I'm not sure where Joseph was from. I only have additional information about his descendants. I know this isn't much to go on, but in case you have any links could you let me know? Thanks, Liz Riemer -- SEM Lab, Inc.

The common Christian culture which was introduced in 863 by Cyril and Methodius and subsequently spread throughout the Slavic world has been with the Slavs for over a millenium.

Not to idealize the Slavs, there are some unpleasant character traits shared by all Slavs, but there are even more positive ones. After all, the German philosopher Herder viewed the Slavs as the future of Europe. The Slavs have yet to reach their potential, but the potential is enormous. Indeed, the Slavic >> languages are closer to one another, viewed as a group, than the Romance or >> Germanic languages. (It has even been suggested in recent decades that all >> Slavs should adopt a single Slavic spoken and literary language). Who suggested that :-) During the past century quite a few scholars (not just Russians) argued that Russian should be adopted as the Pan-Slavic literary language. (Given the enormous resentment many Slavs feel today towards the Russians and their language, that idea is a lost cause, of course). Others have argued for Slovak, since spatially and linguistically Slovak is the central Slavic language. Others have suggested one of the varieties of Church Slavonic, the liturgical language of Orthodox Christians and Greek Catholics. >> Most Slavs are united by a Christian heritage that dates back to Saints Cyril >> (Constantine) and Methodius, who converted Moravia in the year 863.

The Slavs accepted Christianity before the division between Rome and the East. This division was no fault of the Slavs. Indeed, if there is anyone who might heal the tragic break between Orthodoxy and Catholicism, it is the Slavs. The Pan-Slavs of the >> 19th century were inspired by this Cyrilo-Methodian heritage and many dreamed >> of the day when all Slavs might be united politically and religiously. >This was an ideological construct of immature oppressed small nationalities, >rather than anything based on cultural or historical facts.

Pan-Slavism came in several varieties, only one of which advocated submitting to the Russian tsar. There was the Moravian and Slovak version of Pan-Slavism and the South Slavic variety. THe men who advocated Pan-Slavism were hardly immature.

I am looking for help with some information I received from the Archives in Bruno. My girlfriend's mother translated most of the information in the document they sent me but I have several questions left. Does anyone know what the following line means? The line is talking about my gg-grandmother, Terezie Entler's, mother: Matka (mother): Klara, dcera (daughter) of Martina Neczkarze, pullaníka (half?) Resicích Does this mean the mother of Dorothea Entler was Klara Neczkarze and Klara's mother was Martina Neczkarze? What does pullanika Resicích mean? This is correct? Parents of Terezie Entler: Father: Vojtech Entler Mother: Klara Neczkarze Mother of Klara: Martina Neczkarze Karen Fletcher Grants Pass, Oregon

Looking for anyone with a link to anyone in here: Joseph Owcarz was born in Poland ( Don't know where ) in 1853. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Owcarz. He married Agnes Osial born January 06, 1852 in Poland the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Osial. Unsure of the date of marriage, but it had to be before 1886 because they had five children (three of whom i know the birthdates of): John (b. October 03, 1886), Paul (b. May 27, 1897) Anna (my great-grandmother b. January 05, 1888) Mary and Louise. Around the late 1890's early 1900's, the enitre family immigrated to Youngstown, Ohio, USA. Joseph himself had been to Youngstown before in the past and was one of the first Polish people in the city. After crossing the ocean numerous times, the entire family immigrated. Joseph died September 12, 1928 in Youngstown. His wife, Agnes Osial died August 15, 1938. Daughter Anna married Michael Stopnicki, son John married Margaret Mackovitch. if anyone has any info or thinks there is a link, i have a picture of Joseph Owcarz. Thank you.
