When one lady asked me to translate few records from Červená parish in Písek district in Southern Bohemia, I haven't expected I'll find number of notes about people who left for the U.S. from this parish. Here is a list of these people - and it's quite a list!

amount of time, I'd appreciate any donations to help me provide you such
posts. There is a Donate button in the right menu on this blog. Thanks

Fantastic list. I had just sent a note to Michal Razus in Presov saying that any information from town chroniclers would be welcome in the Nase rodina publication. Thanks for sharing your find on this blog.
ReplyDeleteWow! Fantastic list, and this praise from someone who has NO ancestors from the parish (as of yet)! (smiley face) A monumental effort! I also learned so much from you at the CGSI Conference in Pittsburgh last October 2017. Thank you.- Gay Kohl
ReplyDeleteHello Gay, thanks a lot for your comment! And hope to see you again in Lincoln next year. :)
DeleteDobrý den, jen technická: mám Polodnovi v předcích a jméno je často komolené a "verzované", správné se ovšem zdá Polodna/Polodnová. A pod tím jménem vystupují i v současnosti. Moc díky za to, co děláte a co sdílíte.
ReplyDeleteDíky, uvedu obě varianty příjmení. :)
DeleteThis is wonderful. I recognize so many family names. Most Cleveland Czechs in the 19th century came from Pisek and Tabor counties.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike!
DeleteThank you, Blanka! I am just seeing your site for the first time today! What an amazing job you have done! I only recently found out my relatives were from Pisek and have yet to explore your great site more thoroughly! By chance, was there a German port more preferred by the people of this area? I've yet to start my ship manifest search...I have a feeling that will take a while!
ReplyDeleteThank again,
Pamela
Many Chicago and Pittsburgh Czechs came from Rokycany District, Plzen region (my ancestors from Privetice, Vejvanov, Radnice, Hlohovice and others)
ReplyDeleteI do recognize some names in this list associated with my Chicago kin (Masek, Vesely. Many came as coal miners
Thank you for this! My Kofroň family immigrated from Červená parish to Cleveland. Marie Kofroň Tříska from Vůsí No. 7 mentioned above was my 1st cousin 5x removed ;-). I also descend from Mašeks from Červená and Matuškas from Jetětice!
