  2. Many of my ancestors were from Porstendorf (Borsov). Were their original house numbers changed after the Germans were expelled in 1946? If so, is there a conversion map available anywhere?

  3. My great grandfather emigrated from Freudenberg/Vesele. In preparing for a visit to the Czech Republic later this year, I came across your blog and this post. I don't know if you've come up with an example yet of old to new house number, but the link is to the marriage record of one of my ancestors. In the mid 1890s Freudenberg and Markersdorf/Markvartice adjusted their town boundaries which necessitated a change in the numbering of houses.

  4. Hi Blanka,
    I've just finished transcribing an archive 1807-1825 from a village near Litomysl. Almost all the house numbers in the records are double, as in "62/45". This stops shortly before 1825 and does not continue in the next archive 1825-on.
    I can find no explanation for this - any ideas? Usually the first number is the one that makes sense.
    thanks, miker

  5. Very interesting Blanka! It answers my question. Now I want to know how to find a house number from the 1800's on a map of 2017.

    1. You simply try. In many cases you got the right house. Also the good method is to look into old cadastral maps to check that house.
