    The Czechs spell the name of the town with a "J": Jičin.

    What about the difference between Enge and Engle?

    No Engle's appear in the online phonebook.

    By the way, phone books are becoming less and less useful in CZ, because many people abandoned their home lines and fully switched to cell phones (the main reason probably being high monthly flat rate (paušál) you have to pay for your home line). Too bad there isn't something similarly useful (as far as I know, cell phone numbers are not usually listed in phone books).

    Sorry, I just found out from my father, my grandfather's name should be Max Engel, not Engle. he also had a brother called Erwin Engel, and Frederick Engel.

    And you have no idea, how much ;)
    "Z bažin" means: from swamp.

    Bažiny is Czech word for swamp :)
