I am searching for specific information about my great great grandfather (s) and his parents. Josef Klokoc 1864 Czech Karel Kabelac 1859 Czech Thanks Michelle
Michelle, Do you have the name of a village or town? As far as I can tell from the phonebook, there are Kabeláč's in every region of the Czech Republic. As for the other surname, I found Klokočka, Klokočník, also in every region. The only real statistic of any significance I found in the phone book was that there were several Kabeláč's and one Klokočník in Valašské Meziříčí, which is a small town near the Slovak border.
Thanks so much for your reply! I research what I have available and I can only find Kladno, Remainder of World(?), Czech and Bohemia. Can you eductae me? I am cluless on how to begin a deep search for my great great grandparent who I believe remained in Czech or died there when my grandparents can to the US. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks again Michelle :lol:
Kladno is about 20km WNW of Prague (map). I went to the Kladno website, and there doesn't seem to be any English pages, or a link to the archives (if they have any there). You may need to try the Prague archives.
Official Kladno web is http://www.mestokladno.cz/ English version is here: http://www.mestokladno.cz/e_index.asp e-mail: magistrat@mestokladno.cz
Went to the English site but not much there. When I tried clicking on documents ect.. it took me to a non-english page.
Dear Michelle, I think I can help you. I do genealogy of Kabelac surname and I have your Karel Kabelac *1859 in my family tree. He was born 10 Jun 1859 in small town Hermanuv Mestec and died in 5 Feb 1927 in Prague. His wife was Wilhelmine Lanz. Give me e-mail for next details. Jiri
