Description

I am trying to find out where Radnice is located. I have a marriage register that states “Mary Vejvoda, handmaid of St. Louis, daughter of Martin Vejvoda, miner of Privetu(?-not sure if I got this right), next Radnice in Bohemia”

Her husband was “Josef Dolansky, working man of St. Louis, son of Charles Dolansky, musicians of Brer(?) Sovir (or Govir) in Bohemia”

Any help I could be given would be greatly appreciated.

Susan

Radnice is in Okres Rokycany, just NE of Plzen as Tony indicated. I was just there last week, since my grandmother’s oldest half-sister was baptized there in 1877 (family name Koutecky – mother’s maiden name was Johaje/Johajova).

I can send you photos of the church on the town square. I’m not sure, but I think that this was the church for all the surrounding small villages, so that their baptisms, marriages and burials would have been at this church.

Thanks Tony…actually I did try Google before posting and my results for “radnice” kept coming up with links to town halls in the Czech Republic. Lord only knows what I was doing…lol.

Hello Susan:

When in doubt, just type it into the google.com search engine. Here is a link for you to click or to copy/paste into your browser:

I think your “Privetu” is actually Privetice (hacek over the r and e); a village which is located nearly 2 miles South of Radice, Czech Republic, all just NE of Plzen, CZ.
