I have missed your blog! I have learned so much from it. It has helped me understand things about my family history that I had dug out of the Trebon archives. thank you.
I am a direct descendant of the Neuberg[er] family. My 2 X great grandfather was born in Blovice. He eventually became the abdecker for Borek, present-day Štěnovický Borek. The knackery outside of Blovice has been in my family for almost three centuries. I visited the site in 2014.
My direct descendants were also knackers (abdeckers) from Western Bohemia, family Reiser. I am still short of 2-4 generations before the records run out around 1650. Does anyone has info about this family so I can complete my Reiser family tree? I'll be very grateful for any info. The name is also sometimes spelled as Raiser, Reisr, Reizr, Raisr, Raizr, Rajzr and Reizer. The oldest records I found so far is about Wolfgang Reiser born in 1738 on Sep 28, in Olsovka, which was knackery in Brezi, presently part of town Zinkovy. He was the son of Adam Reiser, also a knacker, but unfortunately in the records is missing where he is from so I run out of leads for now...any help appreciated! Wolfgang's son, Jan, was also born in Brezi in Olsovka on Nov 23, 1768. Wolfgang later moved his family to Bystre near town Mochnin. Jan's son Matej (also spelled Mathias or Matous) was born in Bystre on Oct 8, 1795. Matej was 1st generation venturing out of the knacker trade and became "Wildheger", in Czech "pansky hajny" instead. In English it means a hunter and a ranger in one person. He was Wildheger in Bernartice, presently part of town Kolinec. He later moved his family to Horneckuv Dvur where they had their last child, Eva Reiser, my grandpa's grandma, in 1840 on Oct 21st. Horneckuv Dvur was demolished in the 80's but it was in an area belonging to Volsovy, a small village, presently part of town Susice. Reisers married into familes of other knackers in Western Bohemia, namely the Langmayer, Mayer, Heidinger, Keiger (or Keigr), Fleischner. Lets share some info about these too and if you know anything about my branch of the Reiser family prior 1738 please let me know, thank you.
