Znorovy (Vnorovy) and surrounding towns, Czech Republic

Hi; I am new to this forum, and hope to at least find some interesting leads on what to do next.

I am currently researching the areas of Znorovy (Vnorovy), Liderovice, and Zarazice in Southern Moravia.

The surnames I am directly researching include: STUDENKA, JANICEK, KONECNY, MALAR, GAZAREK, CHUDIK. I have found some success with the actapublica.eu website, but find deciphering the handwriting very difficult at times.

I have also posted some photos of (mostly) unknown individuals on my page; I hope to find someone who can identify at least one of these people, since they were obviously important to at least one of my family members at one time.

I look forward to ensuing discussions!

    Hello, Catherine: I read your posting with great interest. Most of my research is in Vnorovy and Liderovice. Some of the families in my tree (distant) are Studenka, Konecny and Gazarek. ( I must have screwed up my first reply to you). I don't know where it went. Which pages and which entries in Actapublica were giving you trouble? I can take a look at them and try to decipher the writing. Looking forward to conversing with you.

      My great uncle Florian Ricica married Anna Janicek and came to USA about 1907.  They were from Vnorovy.  My father was born there in 1905 and came over with his aunt Apolena Tomekova, Franz and Karl Ricica.  My father was Jan Ricica and their family later changed their name from Ricica to Rice.  We live in the SE cormer of Michigan.

      Florain and Anna  lived in Hicksville/Defiance Ohio and their [all] daughters and family still live in that area.

      Mr grandparents Jan and Maria Tomekova Ricica  came in 1905 and 1907?  My dad also named Jan and later John Rice was 5 yrs old when he left Vnorovy.  I just spent 2weeks in June 2014 in the Cz. and was able to visit Znorovy, St Elizabeths church and got a copy of my grandparents marriage certificate [1900].
