    Personal Information    |    Media    |    Sources    |    Event Map    |    All    |    PDF

    • Name Vaclav Wenzl BLECHA  [1, 2, 3, 4
      • Remember: Vaclav and Wenzel are the same name. [1]
      Born 10 Sep 1827  Psenickuv Mlyn, Bohemia Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 3, 4
      • Earlier records showed Wenzel's birth location as Radnice. His birth record was found in the Radnice Church journals, but his family actually lived just north of Radnice at Psenickuv Mlyn, just under Lhotka along the river. Hence, the family lived by the mill (myln).
