Den, mesic a rok narozeni ---30.cervence 1889 jmeno a prijmeni ditete---- Anna Srnikova Jmeno a prijmeni---Jan Srnik, ctvrtnik v Brumove, syn Jana Srnika, ctvrtnika v brumove a Barbory Misakove Jmeno a prijmeni----Rosalie Miklasova, dcera Tomase Miklasa, posednika v Brumove a Marie Lysakove. Any information is much appreciated. Thank you.
rodný list = birth certificate Místo narození - Brumov na Vláře Place of birth - Brumov on/upon Vlára Brumov, today a part of agglomeration Brumov-Bylnice, is a town in Wallachia. Vlára is a river nearby the town. As far as I know the river was never within the name of the town, so it’s somehow mysterious. Perhaps it is an address of a place within the cadastre of the town. Den, měsíc a rok narození - 30. července 1889 Day, month and year of birth - 30th July 1889 Jméno a příjmení - Jan Srník, čtvrtník v Brumově, syn Jana Srníka, čtvrtníka v Brumově, a Barbory Mišákové. First name and surname - Jan Srník, a čtvrtník in Brumov, son of Jan Srník, a čtvrtník in Brumov, and (of) Barbora Mišáková. “Čtvrtník” is a tax-payer category based on the acreage of the cultivated land - ie. a small farmer. Jméno a příjmení - Rosalie Miklasová, dcera Tomáše Miklasa, podsedníka v Brumově, a Marie Lyšákové First name and surname - Rosalie Miklasová, daughter of Tomáš Miklasa, a podsedník in Brumov, and (of) Marie Lyšáková “Podsedník” is a small farmer who is not owner of the land. He is either an employee of another farmer or an independent farmer working on leased land. The spelling of all the names is just my guess. The accents could be different. All the surnames, and only the surnames, ending in “-ová” (“-ové” in declined form) are female surnames.
