Dear Whoever, Raimershofer (not sure of spelling) was important in the history of Galveston also. Bohemia and Moravia have not changed borders other than the gain of part of Silesia to the Czech lands nearest Moravia, NE Bohemia and loss of most of Silesia to Poland. You say your are looking for Krejcas. Have you tried the texasczechs@egroups.com or moravia@rootsweb.com? Both are dedicated to Texas Czechs, 85% of whom came from Moravia. http://www.czechheritage.org Sharing. It's What It's All About!
