Description
Looking for any information on the villages in the Plsen area of Jarov, Vyrov, Kralovice, Prevetice, Hradchu. Wondering if there are records that tell of the land sales offers in Iowa that were made to families of these villages in 1850-1860s. Many of these families settled in Solon, Lone Tree, and Riverside, Iowa.
Specific families I am connected to Bulin (Buline), Hudachek, Zenishek, Henik. Family relatives married Parizek, Skubal, Hruby, Simitz (Schimitz), Ulch, Kolda, Kahl, Sabatka, Hotka, Novy, Yavorsky, Holubar.

Possible some connection, as the villages were small at this time. The Bulin’s in Wisconsin and Nebraska may be connected in some way—keeping in mind that the Iowa Bohemians tended to marry into families form their Bohemian villages—hence the connections of Hinek, Bulin, Hudachek (Chudacek), Simitz, Fujan, etc.
Kralovice is one of the villages of my family.
Still trying to find out the land sale because oral history in my family talks about Vaclav Bulin being encouraged to go to America by his father-in-law, Vaclav Motys, and that they had purchased land in America as part of their condition to be allowed to leave by the Austrian government officials.
Mark: I know of some Bulin’s that went to Wisconsin and then to Nebraska. They married into some of my family names., also you mentioned Simitz (Schimitz). My grandmother Rose (Ruzena) Simice was born in Sedlec, near Kralovice as was her mother Rosalie Bures(ova). Her father, Frank Simice was born in Chotina and his ancestors were born in Kacerov and Plana, NE of Plzen. I have some documents on your spelling of that name, as it must be German spelling. The name was spelled several different ways in America, such as Shimic/Schimice-Simic-and others.
