Mayloo & Dagi:
Thanks for the replies!
I like "Kasparek Tribe" = rod Kašpárků as well as
Rodokmen rodiny Kasparku can you give me the last one with the diacritics?
Also Dagi... that's pretty cool about you being from Zlin. You say that it was called Gottwaldov when you were born? I thought that it was always known as Zlin! Shows what we know here in the states! :

My ancestors seem to date way back to the mid 1700s in Zlin, so I am very interested in finding out more! I have a swordsmith named Patrick Bárta (I believe he is in Brno) who is making a sword for me that will become our family "Kašpárek" sword. Seems in doing my research that Kaspar may actually be Persian in origin several hundred years ago and that the 'ek' suffix is Austrian/Hungarian for 'son of' so we are the sons of Kaspar. It would be interesting to find family before the 1700s and search back to the original 'Kaspar'!
You folks are great and I appreciate the answers... by the way can you give me a phonetic translation of how "rod Kašpárků" and "Rodokmen rodiny Kasparku" might sound?
Thanks!
