Hello folks - As Aida has indicated to find Sternberk (Sternberg) go to www.mapy.cz There are actually two Sternberks, one in Moravia and another in Bohemia, you can call both up on www.mapy.cz The Moravian is Sternberk in the district (Kreis-Okres) Olomouc and the other is called "Cesky Sternberk" the bohemian Sternberk in the district of Benesov. To decide from which your ancestor came from we would need to look at a birth,marriage,death or other certificates. As Aida already indicated I was born and grew up not far from the Moravian Sternberg.
