    3. A good source to check out noble estates in the Kingdom of Bohemia, and where their leading forestry and management personnel is listed by name, can be found at this google book link for free, it was published in 1891. http://books.google.com/books?id=pcgA4F3k-PQC&pg=PA695&dq=Topographisch+Statistischer+Schematismus+der+Grossgrundbesitzer+im+Koenigreich+Boehmen%22&cd#v=onepage&q=Title%20Page&f=false In the back of this volume (printed in "Fraktur" which are gothic letters) is an index of estate owners and estate names. You can see the multiple holdings belonging to these various estates, castles, manor, hunting lodges or abbeys having had a variety of supporting revenues from factories, breweries, mining, sawmills, brick-factories, and other industries besides their farm estates. During the Monarchy the ownership of these estates was well organized and is recorded in various schematisms which are like and an "inventory of the country's assets." Watch for the year when these enumerations were published. The link above is most likely the last one taken during the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy which lasted until end of WW1 1918. The publication above was printed in 1891. Aida
