Where would be the best place to look?
These were some of the last church records for Jan Legner and Katerina Knot that I could find.
They were located in the Melnicke Vtelno records but I can't go any further back to find a marriage record for Jan and Katerina because they stop at 1784. Where would be the best place to look next?

You are welcome. I thought it was right but it was too late at night to check the actual records. I always look at the 19th century maps on Mapy.cz and look in the surrounding country for anything spelled at all similar. This time it worked. I don't speak Czech and don't know all the grammar changes. This blog article has helped me: http://czechgenealogy.nase-koreny.cz/2015/05/czech-language-in-past.html#more. Sometimes in genteam.at you can find them also but I have found if the town has two words you might have to reverse the order of the words.

Look at this 19th century map. https://en.mapy.cz/19stoleti?x=14.6992222&y=50.3590333&z=14&q=Melnicke%20Vtelno&source=muni&id=3888. I think Wsheliz is Wselis. Close to where you are working in. I think it is this now: https://en.mapy.cz/zakladni?x=14.7366464&y=50.3840500&z=13&q=Velke%20Vselisy&source=muni&id=4057

I can't guarantee this is the place but it seems like it could be.

Betseylee you are amazing. The first page of the church record for Boleslav Mlada pulled them up but I don't think it goes back any farther. Hopefully I can find more info just knowing where they lived.. Thanks again.

If you cannot go further back in the Lutheran records, I would check the Catholic records to see if they were recorded there.
