With regard to the more recen...Thank you, Blanko! <br /><br />With regard to the more recent history, I find the Chronicle (Kronika) of any of the given towns extremely fascinating. I could spend hours reading it. <br /><br />During around 1920 the Czechoslovakian government passed a law that every city/town/village is suppose to preserve its history by keeping track of events in a town Chronicle, to which local residents are to have access. The law has been revised several times, but it is still in existence today. <br /><br />Because some of my relatives came from small villages, I was able to find some information about my family members in the Chronicle that I did not know.<br /><br />Further, what I found interesting are the writings during World War 2, around the nationalization and Communist take over, and then during August 1968. The horrors that were committed during World War 2, and the helplessness of farmers after 1948 as their farms were being confiscated really come through in these Chronicles. <br /><br />Of course, you have to read between the lines. For example, some Chronicles describe the events surrounding August 1968 in very harsh terms and unapologetically criticize the Soviets, a different town Chronicles toe the party line and praise the Soviets for their swift actions. And some present it in a neutral fashion, but you kind of understand that the chronicler does not have a free hand in writing the unvarnished truth.P.D.Mlynekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922785988182030330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867672851903497494.post-32839352166592235382015-07-15T09:42:54.444-07:002015-07-15T09:42:54.444-07:00My family came from Kasejovice also.

Some of the family document Horazd'ovice as their birthplace which I have found. However, another has documented Lidy as his birthplace. I have been unable to find this village/town. I understand that it may no longer exist but do you have any suggestions for how I might search maps/records for Lidy? I would appreciate any feedback.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05492065436916640648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867672851903497494.post-50509101482792556822014-12-19T11:32:20.400-08:002014-12-19T11:32:20.400-08:00Somehow I never saw your reply!

The marriage record translates the groom being from "Brassel unter Paltz." Any idea where this is? There is a Brasy near this region, but not sure if that is Brassel or where the unter Paltz comes into play. The year is 1684. thank you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867672851903497494.post-17648547168840171592013-08-10T17:16:34.492-07:002013-08-10T17:16:34.492-07:00Oh, please include the city of Chrudim!Oh, please include the city of Chrudim!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867672851903497494.post-26077077967320545102013-04-21T00:41:54.756-07:002013-04-21T00:41:54.756-07:00Hi Toni, you would have to do the research in Olom...Hi Toni, you would have to do the research in Olomouc, not Brno archives.

They came to Cedar Rapids Iowa around the 1860's early 1870's. One ancestor was Albert Zaruba and he had a wife in Czechoslovakia but she died. He had a surviving son. Then there is his second wife, Barbara Jakovic, who also came from Bohemia and Albert and Barbara had their first child together in 1872 in Iowa. Barbara's last child with her husband Jakovic was born in 1870. We think that Barbara's maiden name was Krumher. So it is a blended family and Jan Jakovic, born in 1870 in Bohemia kept the name Jakovic but his three sisters all took on the name Zaruba; some of them dropping the final 'a'. I still haven't figured out if they met in Czechoslakia or in Iowa. I will definitely let you know if I discover more detail of their beginnings in Bohemia.
