I am looking for a sister of Hein Pape from Selsinger Germany. Early to mid 1800's. I believe her name might be Marie/Maria but I don't know if she was younger or older than my great grandfather Hein who was born in 1845.
Seeking descendants of the following persons:
Vaclav Vitek - Jihlavská (I do not know the date, but the son of Jaroslav born. 1914 in Okrouhličce - Stoke)
Václav Palán born. 1875 Dolní Smrčná
Alois Pavliš born. about 1902 (had a son born Miroslava. 1929 in Ivančice)
