  1. Thank you for starting this blog. My husband's paternal grandfather (Petranek) is from Velim/Kolin, and his paternal grandmother (Mlynar) is from Pecin/Rychnov nad Kneznou. With the excellent assistance of my husband's cousin, we have found thousands of records for the Mlynar line in the Zamrsk Archives. We are in the process of extracting information and compiling our family tree. I look forward to your future posts.

  3. Hi Dolores, I suppose Wildstein is Skalná in Czech (see map: http://mapy.cz/#x=12.412087&y=50.170554&z=10 ). It is parish Skalná, which belongs under Pilsen archives. Unfortunately this parish is not yet available online.

  4. Hi Blanka,
    I am intriqued by your blog, and also confused...not too sure where I am to search for Josef Kepka from Dirka Mill. Can you give me some suggestions on that? I may not be able to do the searching as is explained in your blog.
    Thank you for all of your research for our Kepka line. I highly recommend anyone that is in need of a genealogist to contact you. Again, thank you so much.

  5. My first Bohemian venture led me to Czech Republic, Děčín, Verneřice, Verneřice, church records where I found the birth/baptism record of my great grandfather. I can’t find the marriage record for his parents Florian Krombholz and Maria Anna Muller. My problem now is finding parish records from nearby parishes but outside of Vernerice (formerly Wernstadt). Also are there confirmation records to be found?

  6. Hi Blanka,
    You are greatly appreciated for all the work you put into helping others find their ancestors!
    I was able to create a GenTeam account. Our family came from the Village of Kostice in Moravia and were Catholic, so I believe the parish records were from Tvrdonice. Am I correct in assuming those records are not online yet (I searched under Roman Catholic Indices and didn't find the Tvrdonice Parish listed)? What would be the best way to continue to search for our Vališ Family roots? Any advice is appreciated!
