Several of the later immigrants came from south of Pilzen (Klatovy) or east of Prague (Kolin). You might look for the name(s) in the records of the Pilsen Regiment 35 and the Pilsner Landwehr (1809 or so) just to see if any men who were in the army had that name. The records of the men with the name would also show a birthplace that is a very good place to start. You should also look at the LDS film: Grundbuchblatter Diverse (Title) That has diverse records of men from all over Bohemia and Moravia who were in the Austrian army at one time. Again, any record you find with your ancestral name(s) would have a place of birth. Karen
