Unfortunately, I don’t know where the town of SKORNANY, the birth town of Josef Mohelnicky can have been. It is not listed in the map quest. I guess the village of SKORNANY must have been in north Moravia as well, and it became a part of a bigger town after 1950.]

********************************************** 

Question for the Czech translator: Could "Skornany" be "Skvrnany"? If so, this is a town near Plzen in the Czech Republic.

Answer: The town of Skvrnany was an independent town in past. Later, it became a district of the city of Plzen, west Bohemia, the third largest city in the Czech Republic. Old parish books on people who lived in west Bohemia have been deposited in the State Regional Archives in Plzen. Birth record of Josef Mohelnicky will be just there.
