My name[edit]
I'd like to provide a little bit of disambiguation about my own name. ;) As indicated by my account name my last name is Rodovsky, and I'm working on writing a Wikipedia article about Czech alchemist Bavor Rodovský, however I'd like to reassure readers that I'm perhaps more objective about Bavor Rodovský as a subject than at first appears, because I myself was actually adopted by a woman who married a Rodovsky, and I never knew my would-have-been adoptive father because he died five years before I was born. So I have less of a connection to the Rodovsky name and history than the rest of my family does, and I'll be very careful to be objective in my writing.

I'm still learning to use the Wikipedia Babel box.
I'm a native speaker of English, Dutch is my second major language but I don't write it well, I studied French, poorly, in high school, and I've learned some Russian through immersion in Moscow but am always looking to learn more. I'm currently learning conversational Arabic with the help of a neighbor friend.

Myslív Characters[edit]
Hi, thanks for messaging me. Some of my mom's family came from Myslív and I've been needling through records of the population for a few years. I just finished transcribing all the available marriage records and all the vital records up to 1730. If you want some help let me know. I think some of the oldest names in the village are Santora, Nohacek, Pavelec, Cibulka, Zezulka, Rada, Mukla, Kral, Koncal, and a bunch of other names from surrounding villages. Unfortunately I don't really know much information before the parish records start, only some historical facts about the country. I'm also pretty sure the village was devoutly Catholic for most of its history moreso than other areas and the period of Protestantism is a mystery. Supposedly after the war the country's population went down because protestants fled to Germany. There's one guy who I think was from Blizanovy and moved to America in the early 1600's who might've been protestant, but really, most protestants I know of centralized around South Bohemia and Moravia. There was a significant Helvetian revival in the mid 1800's around the parish of Teleci but you don't see that sorta thing in the Klatovy district.
