It at times depended on the language in which the records originated. The original variants of this name are kept in genealogical records only as supplimental (or supporting) information.

[Here is the application I submitted:] APPLICATION FOR GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH IN THE FORM OF RUNNING ACCOUNT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [as sent 6/28/00 3:30PM Mackinaw City PO] June 28, 2000 My Name and Address is: DENNIS P. HAVLENA My Internet E-mail address is: dhavlena@edcen.ehhs.cmich.edu My Telephone number is: (616) 627-2624 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HELLO: I am trying to find church records of the BROTHERS and SISTERS of my Great Great Great Grand-Father, JAN HAVLENA (born about 1779 in Zahrobi, maybe in house number 4). They were the children of JAN HAVLENA (Sr.) who was born about 1746 probably in Zahrobi, maybe in house number 4). HAVLENA can also be spelled HAWLENA. INSTRUCTIONS: Can you please: - Look in the 1784-1824 BELCICE Catholic church-book of BIRTH records for all children named HAVLENA (or HAVLENOVA) who were born in house #4 Zahrobi before 1800, and whose father was named JAN HAVLENA*. Please provide extract of records, in ENGLISH if possible. (* JAN HAVLENA, Born about 1779, Married to MAGDALENA FASTOVA on November 24, 1799 in Belcice, Died November 15, 1832 in Zahrobi #4) [Late note: I unintentionally stated "1779" in the above sentence when I should have said "1746". This seemingly simple mistake meant that the Archive system looked primarily for the siblings of "1779 Jan Havlena" & not his father "1746 Jan Havlena" as I had intended! When I realized my mistake (months after I mailed the original request) I hurried off a correction letter to the Czech Archives -- but apparently my letter of correction was not ample (or timely) enough to avoid confusion as to which Jan I meant & the resultant report contained quite a few registers of "1779 Jan Havlena's" children --- information tht I didn't need (already having this information in the first Archive report I received). This report was by no means a total loss though, as over half of the information in the received report was new to me -- including extending our Zahrobi Havlena line an additional generation, to Mateus Havlena, born about 1705] - Look in the 1784-1846 BELCICE Catholic church-book of MARRIAGE records for all people named HAVLENA (or HAVLENOVA) from house #4 Zahrobi, who were married before 1825, and whose father was named JAN HAVLENA**. Please provide extract of records, in ENGLISH if possible. (** JAN HAVLENA, Born about 1746, Died September 21, 1816 in Zahrobi #4) - Look in the 1784-1840 BELCICE Catholic church-book of DEATH records for all people who died from 1784 to 1840, whose father was named JAN HAVLENA*** from house #4, Zahrobi, and whose mother was NOT named MAGDALENA, maiden name FASTOVA. Please provide extract of records, in ENGLISH if possible. (*** JAN HAVLENA, Born about 1746, Died September 21, 1816 in Zahrobi #4) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I have included several charts and photocopies for your reference. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you VERY much!
