From Mirek: “Notice that the godparents actually were the infant Marie’s maternal grandparents. Again, they most likely were illiterate because they both “signed” just with the sign of three crosses.”

Her siblings born at #59 Petrovice:
No younger siblings were recorded there up to the end of 1886 (p. 454).
– (Vol. 10787, p. 423:) 26/27 May 1877 * Antonín Vybíral; + 21 Mar 1878;
– (Vol. 10787, p. 414:) 14/15 Jun 1874 * František;
– (Vol. 10787, p. 406:) 19/20 Feb 1872 * František; + 25 Apr 1873;

– (Vol. 10787, p. 395:) 6/7 Jul 1868 * Maria; + 24 Jul 1868;

From Mirek: “No more elder siblings were recorded there down to the beginning of 1857 (p. 361).
Another couple started giving birth to children at that house, #59 Petrovice in July 1881: Matěj Dvořák, half-plot-land owning farmer (it means that he was the owner of the farmstead) with another daughter (Josefa *1860 – see below) of Jan Jírovský and Marie Rambousková. For example, their son František Dvořák was born there on 26 Jul 1881 – p. 437.”

From Mirek: “And now to the marriage of Marie Vybíralová’s parents. You will see how complicated Czech spelling was, even to such an educated person as the priest. Especially the spelling of i/y. The name, Vybíral means “one who took out/selected”. That i/y is impossible to interchange. However, the priest wrote the name twice in the 1861 record – and he spelled it just the opposite ways. And the witness still added another way of spelling!

And let me point out another phenomenon: The ancient spelling of the diphthong “ou” was “au”; it appears, for example, in your ancestral names Rambousek and Kourek respectively.”
