Description

This is what I have found on my relatives.

Matéj Veverka, nádenik z Bůzkova č.7, syn Alžběty Veverka, dcery Antonína Veverky, podruha z Purkarce č.- a matky Veroniky, rozené Cynklové z Purkaroc.

Maria Vítovcova, dcera Martina Vítovce, nádenika z Březí č.24 a matky Anny, dcera Václava Jandy, domkáře z Březí č.24 a Marie, rozené Firštové z Březí č.17.

Google translates this into:

Matéj Veverka, day laborer from Bůzkov no. 7, son of Alžběta Veverka, daughter of Antonín Veverka, second wife from Purkaroc no. - and mother Veronika, née Cynklová from Purkaroc.

Maria Vítovcova, daughter of Martin Vítovce, day laborer from Březí no. 24 and Anna's mother, daughter of Václav Janda, housekeeper from Březí no. 24 and Maria, née Firštová from Březí no. 17.

I'm having trouble deciding who is the mother, father, husband wife etc as it says 2nd wife and in the section that begins with Maria Vitovcova it totally confuses me as it speaks of Anna's mother but I don't know who Anna is from the translation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Without seeing the original record it’s a bit tricky, but this is the way I see it.

Because no father is mentioned for Matěj, I assume he was the illegitimate son of a woman named Alzběta Veverka, who, in turn, was the daughter of Antonín Veverka and Veronika Cynklova. Depending on the era of the record, the original might show a column for “legitimate” vs. “illegitimate” and a checkmark. That would confirm this question.

Maria Vítovcova was the daughter of Martin Vítovec and Anna Janda, who, in turn, was the daughter of Václav Janda and Maria Firštová. The word matky, in front of Anny, simply means that Anna was the mother of the baby Maria.
