I just realized I had not answered the last part of your question: Janez Nepom. stand for JANEZ NEPOMUK. The middle name Nepomuk was used to differentiate your ancestor from other persons name Janez as this is a very common first name. (Janez Nepomuk was a martyr and a saint and is thought to have lived and been murdered in the area now known as the Czech Republic.) Hope this helps with your search!
