1. Matej DRABEK

[NOTE - Podskali is directly across the Vlatava River from Vystrkov. At the time of these individuals, there was a deep valley there. At the present time, the valley has been dammed up and flooded. This MIGHT be a relative, perhaps an uncle of Pavla Rozhon. ]

Subject: Re: ROZHON from Central Bohemia

Message: I just recieved information from Czech. that I may be related to the Rozhon family. Jan Rozhon, from Podskali, and his wife Rosalie (last name unknown) had a daughter Marie. Marie married Josef Drabek b. 1-25-1788 and was from Varvazov and Bukovany. Marie was his second wife.

Josef Drabek's parents were Simon Drabek, from Sedlice and Varvazov, and Anna Pecka. Josef Drabek and Marie Rozhon had a son Matej Drabek b. 5-31-1892 he lived in Bukovany, Sedlecko and Pribram.

Matej Drabek was married to Barbora Vlna from Sedlecko and had Vaclav Drabek b. 9-8-1883 in Sedlecko. Barbora Vlna's parents were Josef Vlna from Sedlecko and Barbora Fort from Zahorany.

Vaclav in my great grandfather. He had several siblings and came to America in 1904 at the age of 21. His father Matej was coal minner and died in a mining accedent. Does any of this information sound familliar? Do you think there may be a connection with our families? Any information about any of these people would be a great help. ----Keith Thomas
