Village Chronicles

[ Home ]

 

The village chronicles of Mladosovice, Nepomuk, and Salmanovice, as well as part of the History of Kojakovice, will be delivered to Wregie Library in Oxford Jct. by July 1st, '03. The chronicles include history of the village and a record of residency of each house. Sometimes births, marriages, deaths, and occupations are mentioned. The Bohemian spellings of surnames and vulgo/neb names are revealed.

The chronicles are in the Czech language, of course, but names, dates, and places are recognizable, and there will be a brief language guide to help. You may use the chronicles at Wregie and/or hire someone to work for you. Contact me if you need a researcher from Oxford Jct.

Because the chronicles contain vital genealogical information, we want to acquire more for Wregie. If you have a partial or complete chronicle (of one of the villages south of Trebon, east of Mladosovice, west of Chlum u Trebon, and north of the Stropnice River which is north of Nove Hrady -- see candy MAPS), and are willing to copy it, I will pay the photocopying and postage costs. Or if you know elsewhere in the USA that a chronicle exists, please try to get a copy or tell me about it. Contact me from the bottom of the home page on this website. Thanks, J.Nelson
