Is there anyone living in Svati Kriz in Western Bohemia who can help me with my search for any information regarding my Grandfather known as John Major who was born around 1890 I have not been able to find any evidence of his birth and don’t know if he had siblings My father said that he thought that there was a brother named Vaclav and also a sister but we ae not sure. I am planning to travel next year in the hope of finding more about my ancestors and hoping that I will find some living relatives..
