Hello everybody, excuse me for writing in English. I think I have Czech ancestors, but unfortunately I do not speak Czech. My last name is Twerdy. But some generations ago it was Twrdy. The last trace I have about the Twerdy/Twrdy family ends in Klobouky u Brna. May be somebody in the forum can help? The earliest known person is
Franz Eduard Twrdy, his profession was "Oberamtmann" something in the administration. He died in 25.09.1850 in Hustopece at the age of 55. The exact date and place of birth are not known unfortunately.
He married Antonia Hladisch, the daugther of Mathias Hladisch, a citizen of Hustopece.
Their son was Franz Gustav Joan. Nepomuk Twerdy who was born on 16.04.1843 in Klobouky u Brna house no. 101. Nothing is known about his job. However he must have moved on as his son Alfred Rudolf Twerdy was born in 1876 in Chotebor.
May be somebody has an idea where I could find out more about the origin of the first Twrdy? As he was in the administration of Klobouky u Brna may be there exist some records about him? Can you tell me if Twrdy is a Czech name? There are also theories the name might come from Poland or Slovakia.
Thank you very much for you help.
Ahoj, Fabian
