First Pass on first few paragraphs Transcription of Purchase Contract of Anton Hruby

Posted on 9 June 2016 by Kate Challis

Tonight I didn’t work on my Krczmarsky problem, as my friend Lukas emailed me an extensive theory about why it might be possible that Michel is the father of my Joseph, and I haven’t yet been able to find enough time to respond yet to him. More on that interesting problem in forthcoming blog posts.

So, back to more Czech Land Record transcriptions! They’re really hard. But they are worth it. I especially love it when writing into the netherness of the blogosphere ends up either helping someone else who is struggling, or helping me to learn more and improve my understanding and skills. Please comment. I welcome corrections, advice, and any commentary.

Here is a link to the purchase contract of Anton Hruby from Thomas Hruby, his father.

Nero XIII

#13
Purchase contract of Anton Hruby

On this day [legalese] Thoman Hruby successfully [transferred?] the valid purchase contract to Anton Hruby.

The translation needs work; In any case, the main idea is clear: Anton Hruby is getting house #13 from his father, Thoman [sic – do they mean Thomas?] Hruby.

Wow, so that was a really horrible trancription. I really have to work on that more as you can see. But the main idea I *think* is that Thoman Hruby of Pustkovec is giving this specific plot of land, that they then describe, to his son for the purchase price of 24 florins. Or guilders. I really am not sure what unit of currency this is here. But it’s probably one of those.

So here the main word that I think I’m messing up is “Hanna.” I am not sure if I got that right. I think this is a list of people who will inherit from the 24 florins, so possibly Anton’s siblings? Marianna is some kind of heiress, perhaps Anton’s mother, Thomas’s wife? I really am not sure here.

And Alka? Would that be…Olga?

This took me about an hour, and as you can see it’s really rough. But it’s important. 
I would have started the transcription at a different part of the document if on my skim-through a place name had jumped out that wasn’t Pustkovec. Because, as luck has it, I really haven’t yet been able to find Anton Hruby’s birth record in the parish registers. He has conflicting estimated birth dates, and I looked over a 30 year span and didn’t find him yet. So, maybe he moved here from elsewhere? Except, he is inheriting/buying #13 from his father, which means he had roots in Pustkovec. Apparently I either missed the record, it’s missing, or it’s somewhere else entirely. I’m really not sure, but before I continue fishing in that huge pond, I’m going to try to get a solid polished version of this land record, and perhaps a few others like this one:
