Seeking info on my husband's family, possibly from Cichov and/or Radimov. I've checked Moravian archive site but parish recs for Cichov aren't online yet.
Frantisek Hosna (born c. 1850's ? ) m. Rose Blazek , had son Josef b. 1979

Josef Hosna (my husband's g grandfather)m. Anna Sevcik c. 1902 Her parents were Joseph Sevcik & Frances Janu

Josef H. & Anna had 2 children in Bohemia - Anna & Josef

We know that this family came to St. Louis separately, with Josef (father) first followed by Anna & children. Dtr Anna died soon after arrival (1921).
Any info is greatly appreciated!

Hi
I would suggest contacting the local historian in St
Louis or the historical societies?

Hello,
I think it is a community Cichov in the district Trebic, according your message. There is a small village Radonin close to the Cichov community - maybe it is your Radimov?.Radimov is a village in Tabor district, but it is in southern Bohemia, , but if you are sure with Radimov .... then I will rather looking there. In history was the Cichov also called Brtnický Číchov (southern part) or Třebíčský Číchov (northern part). These were two separate land registers that belonged to each different noble estate (and different parishes). This makes it so confusing quest.
And parish records for it are on-line (http://actapublica.eu ) under parish Heraltice (until 1785) or Přibyslavice (since 1785) or Chlum (since 1785). The earliest records should be sought also in parish Kamenice u Jihlavy (ca 17th century...) and even also Třebíč - město (St. Martin), that's Trebic-city (also ca 17th century).
I looked briefly preliminary sketches to the Land Cadastre (ca. 1835), but the family names I could find there. This does not mean anything (they did not necessarily own the land).

Thanks, Janice. I live in St. Louis and have utilized the parish records at St. John Nepomuk as well as those at our other resources.

Thank you, David. I got both villages from immigration information for the family, (Cichov for relative listed in Czech. and Radimov for immigrant) which I know may not always be exactly correct. I'm subscribed to the Trebon archive email updates but haven't had time to check to see when these records made it online. The detailed information /explanation you've given me about the villages and parishes will help me in my search. I did a preliminary land search when the Czech Society held their meeting here in St. Louis but was unsuccessful, as well. We are beginning to suspect that the family originally lived elsewhere prior to 1850 or so, then moved to Bohemia/Moravia around that time. I am going to pursue your suggestions for the parish records, especially for those after 1785. I do appreciate your insight and thank you for taking the time to look up the land information!

I have a question: Anna Hosna (b. ca 1880), came to St. Louis 1906, m Anthony Jancsek (b.1884) in 1907 - are you sure, that she was sister of Josef Hosna (b. 1879)?

Hi David,
Yes, that is his sister. It does get very confusing w/all of the Josefs and Annas...since Josef (b. 1879) also married an Anna (Sevcik) and also named his dtr. Anna (b. 1906). The Jancsek family moved to Illinois, close to the St. Louis area, as did some of the Hosnas. We still keep in touch w/the cousins in Highland, Ill.
Do you have a connection?
Mary

Hi,
I do not have a connection yet. Only I think that Joseph and Anna were born close together, if they were siblings. I'll think about it,

Hello,
I was looking at various parish registers, but without result. Hosna family was in Radetice, Smilkov, Kouty or Borovany etc., it will be maybe a relative, but it is not your John Hosna. Information about sister of John Hosna really interested me, because I found:
Anna Hosna b. 1879 - 1880 (sister of Josef), m Anthony Jancsek b.1884 in 1907 at St. John Nepomuk Catholic durch in St.Louis…info on marriage rec indicates her father as “Joannis” Hosna and location of Ounuz, Sedlesny, Bohemia or similar spelling. On http://www.cgsi.org/research/message-board/post/214522 Are you searched for a place Ounuz?
I have no big doubt an indication of the village Radimov. Birthplace of Josef (1879) per ship record is Cichov….. but the hypothesis: near the village Uonuz is Cunkov, if incorrect written, very similar to a name “Cichov”. But I do not rule out even the "Moravian" Cichov!
Ounuz (49°32'22.198"N, 14°30'32.372"E) is a small village, part of municipality in the district Jistebnice near town Tabor. Located about 6 km north of Jistebnice. But historically the parish books were in Sedlec (today Sedlec-Prčice), not on-line yet.
You wrote: my husband was just always told the family lived near Praha, but nothing more specific. On boards.ancestry.com. Ounuz is this a movement towards Prague…
In parish book on http://actapublica.eu/ Sedlec-BN 06, born and bapt. in 1790 – 1801:

b.11.10.1790 in Aunus = Ounuz Nr.5 is Catharine Hosna, father Hosna Josef,mother Anna
b. 6.2.1794 in Aunus = Ounuz Nr.5 is Franisek Hosna, father Hosna Josef,mother Anna
b. 19.9.1796 in Aunus = Ounuz Nr.5 is Anna Hosna, father Hosna Josef,mother Anna
b. 7.5.1799 in Aunus = Ounuz Nr.5 is Jan Hosna, father Hosna Josef,mother Anna
Parish books from 19th century not yet available.
I looked to preliminary sketches to the Land Cadastre (ca. 1835- 1840) and in house Ounuz Nr5 I see as a owner: Wzl (=Wenzel) Hoschna (=Hosna)! It is attached to this message. Yellow color on the map is of wood construction. The house still stands there, as it was built in the 19th century.
What's more! I found a picture painted in 1932, where is written: "At the Hošna house in Ounuz", drawn by Mr. Jaroslav Spirhanzl (incidentally, a very interesting man ...).
Blazek family lived in the village Vratisov and also in Sedlec according to parish registers from Nadejkov in the late 18th century - it is also the same area.
Unfortunately, they are still just assumptions, based only on one single information, I do not have a direct connection.
Maybe it will help
Best Regards, David
PS.: Anthony Jancsek b.1884 in Hohenleipa (per ship record Ellis Isl.NY) = Vysoka Lipa is a village in the district Decin (50°51'28.845"N, 14°21'4.762"E).

Hello,
On a picture painted in 1932, is written in the second row, circa translated: "Vojtech (Latin= Adalbert) and Anna Hosna 1878 house rebuilt”.
