Description

I have found ship manifests for my ancestors who immigrated from Bohemia but I have not been able to narrow it down to a town or city within Bohemia. What would my next step be?

(Even on my ancestors naturalization records it reads Bohemia/Austria.)

Thanks -

I found the name of a village

I found the name of a village in one of the obits of my great aunt. That couple with the help of an article by Ed Langer, lead me to the general area. I then filed an application for info with the archive in Zamrsk. They researched and translated the records for me which include many births, deaths of my ancestors. The records contained the name of the villages.

Any info on surname Coufal

I met a young man who now lives in Olomouc whose last name is Coufal. I think he is Moravian but do not know from where.
