Thank you for responding to my inquiry about house number 41. I was thrilled to be looking at a map that many years ago was the village my Grandparents grew up in and maybe even were born in. Thank you again. My Grandfathers name was Franz Josef Klapka and he was born 26 February 1877. On his emigration passenger papers on the ship Rhein out of Bremen, he indicated his home address was " 41 Mahr. Trubau, Moravia ". That information is all I have as to his actual home. After so many years, I find it hard to believe that the actual house still exists. But old maps around the time of his emigration in 1909 may show were the house once stood. Do you believe house 41 is locateable? If you can help, please let me know.

This is the website for this city. On the left side of the screen see MESTO, and under this is Mapa Mesta. Clicking on this you will see a map of the town. Click on the map to enlarge the map. Under Historie are nice pictures of the town, church, etc. http://www.mtrebova.cz/ posta@mtrebova.cz This is a web address from this site. Perhaps you could send an email and ask about your relatives and ask where house number 41 is located.

Is there any document that you know of that may show a layout of the village showing houses? Or would you suspect that all reference, not to mention homes, would have long been destroyed or at least rebuilt? I understand that Moravska Trebova is now a very large town in CR.
