Help with another place

Peter15049

Greetings,

In my previous post, I was looking for a reference to what appeared to be M. Schera, which ended up being Maria Schnee, the former name of a church in Prague. That led me to the birth record I was looking for, as well as a sibling's birth record and a marriage record for the parents. From those records, I found the mother's place of birth, Neustraschitz or Nové Strašecí and traced back almost four generations on the material side. A great find.

Now back to the paternal side. In these records I'm reading gebürtig aus Drÿewitz or Rÿlitz (the ÿ I'm assuming is a modern i). I'm coming up empty on those places. Here are the three links that appear to refer to the same place on the paternal side:

If anybody has any hints on those locations, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

A good hint is in the first record, Saatzer kreis = Žatec district. Czech locations written by German-speaking people were often misspelled. Rzibitz/Drzevitz could be https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C5%99ivice as it sounds similar.

Thanks so much for helping Jan. My health is not good at the moment.

Turns out that was exactly correct. From that town and surrounding ones, I found ancestors and records back into the late 1600's, and I'm still not finished tracing down other leads.

Thanks so much for your help Jan, and I hope you get well soon Betseylee.
