5.  e-mail from Jakub Smid, 22 Oct 2002, Rod,I am back from the archive of Plzen. I found some new and interesting information for you:1) The birth record of Ferdinand Prokupek - 5th September 1879 in Dolní Sekyrany2) The birth records of some siblings of Ferdinand 3) The birth record of Josef Seltenhofer - 2nd February 1877 in Pamferhutte4) The birth records of the brothers of Josef - Karl and AntonI also wanted to find the siblings of Anton Seltenhofer. I researched the parish book for village Sitbor but I did not find anyone with the name Seltenhofer. Then I research the parish boks for the marriage of Franziska Kramer and Ferdinand Prokupek in Sitbor (in the years 1897 - 1902) but I did not find it there. The same I wanted to find in the parish book for the village Dolni Sekyrany but there is accessible the parish books till the year 1867 and the following years are probably in the town office in Hermanova Hut. The birth records for Dolni Sekeryrany are accessible till the year 1890 in the archive of Plzen, so I can to did the research for the birth record of Barbora Kramer/Prokupek in this village. The following parish record are probably also in the town office in Hermanova Hut.I also tryed to find the older siblings of Ferdinad Prokupek but  I did not find anyone. It mean that the parents of Ferdinad (Josef Prokupek and Barbora Sajner) get married probably during the years 1875 - 1879 maybe in Dolni Sekyrany.If you want I can contact the town office in Hermanova Hut and try to continue in this way. Thank you for all the atachement and the information about the birth of Barbora. I think it will be very helpfull to find her birth place. I suggest to start with the village Dolni Sekyrany. I will send you the transcriptions and the translations of all information what I researched and the up date family tree.Jakub.
