Hello Moses - Your problem is that both the Bohemian and Moravian Sternberg have castles. As I suggested to you earlier to look up documents that your ancestor may have left behind. If you find them several members of the GBHS list can translate them for you. (Aida and I are two). Once you know the right place you can then hire a Czech researcher who can get you copies of the originals. I know a few who are reasonable.

Thank you Harold for bringing that up. The Sternberg (now Sternberk) I was referring to is where the Sternberg castle exist. The many websites do not share why it has this German name. Is it a German Castle? Moses Major Moses C.

Dear All: I just received some documents from the Czech Republic that my Grandfather Bruno Theimer was born in Sternberg. I always thought that the this area was Bohemian however I am finding out that it was Moravian. Can someone please clarify this and if this may be correct guild me to a website for Moravians. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
