I have seen these variant spellings in my Bohemian ancestry research. Does one of these variants conform with modern Czech spelling? If neither is a correct spelling, can someone offer the correct spelling? that is , current spelling used today in the Czech Republic. Can someone provide the root word meaning of this surname? I research the Czech KALAL surname and several variants, intentional and otherwise; KALLAL, KALAT, KALLA, KALAR, etc . . . Jim in CA
