<< I'm attempting to help someone find the modern locations of five
towns and the political untit in which they fall. A patron has brought
five place names from an 1850's birth certificate. It is supposedly
written in the czech language and the places were - at the time -
considered to be in Bohemia. The towns are: Sanof, Rez, Podelice, Ryholce,
and Pecinov. The political unit in which they were apprently found was
Slosny. If any of you with greater European historical resources than we
have can look into this, I'd be greatful. >>
The Federation of Eastern European Family History Societies has a
downloadable series of 1882 maps on their web site (http://www.feefhs.org).
These have excellent detail and might be helpful in finding some of those
locations.
