Hello List, I am new to the list I was wondering if someone could help me? Is the area known as Moravia the same as Bohemia? What village / town in Moravia / Bohemia? would have been the home of the Prohaszka / PROHASKA family in the early 1700's? You may be aware during the Hapsburg Migration period many families recieved land in the Banat and the Batschka. Did the people in Moravia/ Mähren imigrate to these area's? This is the info I have on mine line, along with some other data. Any connections? Best regards Kurt Fillipowa OSB: P 368 Prohaszka Georg oo N. ...
