You should join the Landskron list at Ancestry. Link here: http://boards.ancestrylibrary.com/localities.ceeurope.histreg.moravia/77.399/mb.ashx Since Landskron is in Moravia, not Bohemia, you would be better served on their list. We try to help out, but our expertise is more in Bohemia than Moravia. Good luck! Otherwise use your browser for more information.
