If you go to HYPERLINK "http://www.mapy.cz/"www.mapy.cz and type in Louka in the bar then click on Hledej it will bring up a small village north west of Brno (Bruenn) In Moravia. Using the vertical bar towards the + it will zoom in on the village. Side navigation is with the directional arrows. When you are dead on the village click on “letecka” and that will give you a satellite picture of the town. (quite dramatic) It probably is not the Loucna (Wiesenberg) in the district of Maerisch Schoenberg (Sumperk) as that village had a German Population. Professor Pfohls Gazetteer Sudetenland shows Louka to have a German name of “Lauka” and the name exists in several different villages both in Moravia and Bohemia. Pfohl lists three in Moravia. Louka, district of Boskowitz (Boskovice) in Central Moravia Louka, district: Moravske Budvice, in South Western Moravia Louka, district Uherske Hradiste (Ungarisch Hradisch) in South Eastern Moravia. The name “s Louce” is a descriptive form of the noun Louka meaning “From Louka” Frank -----Original Message----- From: Claudine Schlieffers [mailto:claudine@schlieffers.com] Sent: Saturday, June 17, 2006 5:02 PM To: GERMAN-BOHEMIAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] Barbara Jakubickova CAn you give me the German equivalents for the town?
