Thanks for the very informative post!! In my ancestor's case, he seems to have owned multiple plots of land around his village (Ceska Trebova), but also there are plots in the names of his wife and several children. Is this usual to have women and children owning land at this time (1839)? This was a farmer/weaver, not the aristocracy. Thanks for any insights you can give me.
Hi Diana, are you sure all of those plots belonged to one family? It could happen that some plots are owned by wife or children when they inherited it from some other family member.
I love the Czech map resources. I do have one question. My Svec family line is from Radnice (Rokycany) and when looking at the map of the city, there are both red and black numbers for the same properties. I have been to Radnice and the numbers on the map don't seem to match the current house numbers. So how do I identify the buildings on the maps that are found on the birth/marriage/death records? Thank you for your time and excellent blog.
Hi Mike, some towns and villages use two types of numbering today - descriptive number and orientation numbers. You need to have descriptive numbers (číslo popisné) to get the correct house. Could you give me an example of house number in Radnice where your ancestors were born?
Is there anyway to purchase a copy of the stability katastr map? We have found over 400 years of ancestors in a village and we would love to have a copy that shows many of their names on the map. Thank you
It's possible to order the maps from National Archives - however I have to say I'm not sure if they are able to send those maps online. Could you give me information about the map/village you want and I'll try to ask them?
I would be interested in the 1842 map of Gebirgsneudorf (Nova ves Horach). I would not need it sent online if I could purchase a copy and have it sent to the United States. Congratulations on your new child. I am new to genealogy and your website has been a gold mine of information. Thank you!
Thanx a lot for this post. I'm new at genealogy. I'm half Czech and Mom ask me to search all my anchestors as she got some names. This map is incredible, so are you !!
Thank you for this amazing guide. May I ask you about the second part of the stabile cadastre, the written documents parts with the land owners and descriptions of the crop, etc.? Are they digitised as well or are they only located at the archives? I would like to see these documents for Letohrad (Kunčice and Orlice).
Thank you for sharing info on the Cadaster maps - I hadn't known of these before seeing your posting, and was excited to findmy ancestors village of Rozna (and discovering from the map its previous name of Roschina). However, the only maps available ere the ones w/o names (Imperial maps). How do I find the associated Indicator maps that you mentioned have names on them? Thanks again!!!

DeleteExcellent directions on how to do this. I was able to locate many ancestor's villages and find quite a few named on the maps. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to put this guide together. I am 50% Czech so I am very interested in exploring the maps.
