Can anyone read/translate this birth record?
Hello! I believe that I have found the birth record for one of my Czech ancestors, Josefa Holler (LZV3-7VY). However, I am having a difficult time reading this record. It is on the first row and I believe that it confirms the names of her parents that I already have (Adam Holler (9S54-GLG) and Anna Gregorova (9S54-GPS)). But I think that this record also includes names/information about her grandparents, which is what I am particularly interested in because I don't have any information about them. If someone could try translating this, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

I agree with Betsylee, however the father is Fratissek Holler (Frantisska is a declinated form which does not exist as a masculin name), farm labourer and his farmer's subtenant, from Kozlow, mother Veronika Piklova from Humzalow.
Anna's parents are Vaclav Gregor, cottager from Blatna and Katerina Novotna, daughter of Frantisek Novotny, cottager from Blatna.
I am sure about the names, a little less so about the places.
It is a peculiar writing, mostly the German type, written in Czech, which is unusual.

You are on the right track! Good job. I would love to help you but have a medical test this morning. I will be back this afternoon. The fast translation is Adam's parents are Frantissika (Franz) Holler from Kuwunho? (house 29) and Veroniky Piklowe? from Hümpoler? (no house number) . Anna's parents are Waclawa (not sure of last name yet- something like Greyarz)- from Blatin (#24) and Kateriny daughter of Frantisska Nowatuzho from Blatin # 18. The maps might help you figure the towns out. I will be back this afternoon to work more on the surnames and towns names. I am not familiar with this area to know what towns they are referring to. Use www.genteam.at which is an excellent gazetteer and you can start typing in the town's names and it provides possibilities. Then you can click on the list and see what area it is in. It is free but you must register.
Maybe someone in the community can help and I hope they do help.

@Betseylee Browning @AnnaB 2000 Thank you both so much! This helps me a lot! And I think you have the names of the cities/towns right because they match up with the towns in other records I have found for this family. Thanks again!
