Vaclav John SLAVIK

1858 - 1938  (79 years)

• Name	Vaclav John SLAVIK  [1]
  Birth	26 Aug 1858	Vilemov, Caslov County, Bohemia   [2]
  	Interestingly, none of these possibilities is in "Caslov" county... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vil%C3%A9mov_%28D%C4%9B%C4%8D%C3%ADn_District%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vil%C3%A9mov_%28Olomouc_District%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vil%C3%A9mov_%28Havl%C3%AD%C4%8Dk%C5%AFv_Brod_District%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vil%C3%A9mov_%28Chomutov_District%29 There is, however, a town named Caslav... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%8C%C3%A1slav There is a Vilemov that lies directly between Golcuv Jenikov and Spacice. Given this town's proximity to other towns that family members came from, this is a likely candidate.
