Immigrants from Vlčnov, Moravia, 1890-1900

Vlčnov in Moravia - small town well know thanks to the local folklore traditions. Local "Ride of Kings" is great event visited by many people not only from Vlčnov surroundings, but from whole Czech Republic. But life here wasn't easy - and many young people emigrated. Here is another extract from parish books concerning notes about people who left Moravia and went overseas.

The names are listed alphabetically by surname. Links lead to the Moravian Land Archives to the parish book page where birth record for the person is written. Only those who had a note by their name about marriage or death in U.S. (or other American country) are listed. There surely were more people from this village leaving to U.S., but there is no evidence about it in the parish book.

Two different parish books from Moravian Land Archives were used (no. 12335 and 12336) and time period of 1890 to 1900 was covered.
Note: Names are written with diacritics, but I have added possible translation of the first name and transcription without diacritics because of the search engines.

  1. I am interested how in how the information about marriages or deaths in the U.S. would have made it into the parish records. Would the parish have been informed by family members who did not emigrate but were in contact with family members in the US?

    1. Hi Dave, the parish administrator (vicar) where someone got married usually sent a note to the parish where the person was born about the marriage. It seems that there was quite busy communication between parish in Racine and in Vlcnov about the marriages.
