Go to page 367 where you can see that they have most of their Forestry personnel listed by name. There is one area called "Peter and Paul" and there may have been a farm called "Peterhof".... Also look at the names under "Maierhof" to possibly find this Peterhof. The Nobility ran their agriculture like a multiple economy and they had a large staff over several very large Maierhofs which are country estates at best. They either had it run by family, or they leased it out, or had a manager run it for them. Besides that, the nobility had industrial interests in the area, as they developed mining, glass blowing, porcelain factories, etc. just run it through the translator and you will see their revenue diversification. Forest and Wildlife was a HUGE resource for them in Bohemia.

Aida, I have been following conversations on this site for several weeks. I have found them very informative. This particular one is of interest to me. My great grandfather, Wenzl Lieber was from Rochlov, Bohemia. It is just west of Plzen. I had the opportunity to visit the village in 2010. But the language barrier posed a BIG problem. I did see that there was a "castle" in this small village. Wenzl was a miner. Could it be that this castle was the home of a nobleman l that employed him as a miner? Also, his father Petr Lieber lived across the lane from him. Records indicated that he was a "cottage dweller". What does that actually mean?

Thanks. I see a Wenzel Trexler (maybe a relative) in Klobasna, but otherwise I do not see anything that seems helpful. I really appreciate you sending me to this book. I looked for Klobasna as a place name in the South Bohemia online records that another person kindly sent me to, but no such town is listed.
