- C1 · next — Jan Konečný (FFFFF). Known: groom at 2 Jun 1868 Štítná marriage (sign. 4740 s. 18), house 72 Štítná, age 35 y 6 m → born about Dec 1832; "syn po Pavlovi Konečným, zemřelém služebném v panském dvoře ve Vlachovicích, a Mariny Trchel z Lidečka"; by 1893 servant at the manor farm in Hluk (4021 s. 151 — that entry also calls Šebák "cottager of Hluk" while the 1868 marriage says Štítná; re-read the 1893 image for "Hluk" before searching there). Find his baptism: Vlachovice births 1830–1835 first (father served at the Vlachovice manor), then Lidečko (mother's village), then Štítná/Brumov. Lock date, house, parents, godparents; note the priest's spelling of Trchel. Karel's 16 Sep 2026 re-read of the Brumov marriage register (sign. 4031 p. 41: Jan Konečný × Veronika Kadlec, 22 Feb 1892) gives the groom's parents as "of Štítná", against "Hluk" in the 4 Sep reading of the 1893 baptism — two readings, unresolved (citizenship handover, item 25). Re-read both images before spending anything on Hluk; Štítná is the simpler reading.
- C2 · open — Pavel Konečný × Marina Trchel: marriage (Lidečko or Vlachovice, roughly 1820–1832; the bride's parish usually), Pavel's burial (Vlachovice, before Jun 1868), then their baptisms (Pavel ~1795–1810). The marriage gives both sets of parents — the next generation on the surname line.
- C3 · open — František Šebák (Häusler at Štítná 137, dead by 2 Jun 1868) × Marina Miklas (dau. of Anton Miklas). Wedding STILL OPEN: daughter Františka (b. 1 Dec 1834, Štítná 137, sign. 4725 s. 100 fol. 196, illegitimate, legitimized "per subsequens matrimonium", cross-ref Copulationum fol. 169) and son František (b. 3 Feb 1837, Štítná 109, 4725 s. 106 p. 209, also per subsequens matrimonium) → marriage after Feb 1837. 4739 fol. 69 is a false hit; fol. 169 / fol. 66 not found in 4739. Try the Štítná marriage book covering 1837–1845 and Brumov; then Anton Miklas's household (Štítná).
- C4 · open — Jiří Kadlec (FFFMF; hofer at Svatý Štěpán 35 in 1867 (4021 s. 9), pasekář 1893, nádeník 1892 (4031 s. 41)), son of Josef Kadlec × Marie Král of Popov. Baptism ~1825–1845: Brumov/Štítná births for Georg Kadlec s. Josef; then Josef × Marie marriage (Popov is today part of Štítná nad Vláří–Popov; check which parish kept its registers in the 1820s).
- C5 · open — Marie Kostka (FFFMM), dau. of Jiří Kostka (b. 1800 Bylnice, 4013 s. 193 R fol. 85; house 69 in 1824) × Kateřina Bilnitza (b. 29 Sep 1798 Nedašov, 4473 s. 76 R fol. 45; house 80), m. 16 May 1824 Bylnice (4028 s. 7 L fol. 10). Look in Bylnice/Brumov births 1825–1845 for Maria Kostka, then the Kadlec × Kostka marriage (~1855–1867, Brumov). Note in tree: "Do not lock 4028 s. 108 Georg Kadlec 1867".
- C6 · open — Martin Kostka (Gärtler, Bylnice; dead by 1824) × Barbara Fojtík: marriage ~1790s Bylnice/Brumov, burials. Bartholomäus Bilnitza (Bauer, Nedašov, dead by 1824) × Barbara (maiden name UNLOCKED): Nedašov marriage ~1790s, burial. Both push the line into the 1700s.
- C7 · open — *Jan Konecny (FFFF; b. 4 Nov 1867 Štítná 131, bapt. 5 Nov, 4726 s. 96, illegitimate, paternity acknowledged 24 May 1868; arrived New York 14 May 1913 Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, age 46; d. "Milwaukee", unsourced) and Veronika Kadlec (FFFM; b. 15 Dec 1867 Svatý Štěpán 35, 4021 s. 9; Manitowoc 1920). US side to close: Jan's death (Milwaukee/Wisconsin death index, Find a Grave, city directories after 1913), Veronika's death (after 1920; pre-1959 Wisconsin deaths are not on Ancestry — Find a Grave, obituary, 1930/1940 census first).
- C9 · next — Radnice registers on Porta fontium (SOA Plzeň → Radnice parish). Read each dated event before entering anything; cite the register by volume and image, and the sheets only as "family abstract, 4 Oct 2026". In order: Anna's baptism 15 Sep 1891, Mostiště 7 (volume "Radnice (RO) 32", 1888–1906, lists Mostiště — confirm it is the birth volume); the marriages 20 Oct 1863 (Jan Taubr × Barbora Králová — gives Jan's parents and their village, which settles "Budislavičky") and 11 Oct 1874 (× Anna Králová); Jan Taubr's baptism 5 Jun 1842; Barbora's burial 7 Apr 1874; the 28 Dec 1906 burial (Jan the father, or the son Jan — the sheet is ambiguous); Jan Nep. Král × Marie Čermáková 14 Jun 1836; Tomáš Král × Kateřina Chvojková 2 Nov 1806; Josef Král × Magdalena Zýtková 17 Nov 1829 (sheet ambiguity about which brother married her); Božena × Lukáš 28 Jun 1921 and Marie Lukášová's 1922 baptism if civil-era volumes are online; Radnice cemetery (Find a Grave / BillionGraves) for Taubr, Lukáš, Hromada stones. Then the emigrant siblings' manifests (NY dbid 7488; Hamburg 1068): last residence should now read Mostiště / Radnice / Hlohovice, which also filters false hits — the visit notes name Antonie, Václav, Josef, Anežka, Františka, Antonie (1887) and Marie Klára to start with; add siblings to the tree from manifests and censuses only. New ancestors to create once their entries are read (none in the tree yet): FFMFF/FFMFM Tomáš Taubr × Lidmila Ocásková; FFMMF/FFMMM Jan Nep. Král × Marie Čermáková; FFMMFF/FFMMFM Tomáš Král × Kateřina Chvojková; FFMMFFF/FFMMFFM Antonín Král × Marie Němcová; FFMMFMF/FFMMFMM Kašpar Chvojka × Markyta Vaníková.
