After you have determined the correct name of the town from which your ancestor emigrated, you must still determine its location. Many Czech localities have similar names that may be easily confused. An example would be the place names Kámen, Kamenec, Kamenice, Kamenička, Kameničky, Kamenka, Kamenná, Kamenné. Czech grammatical endings can change an actual place name. The expression ''in Kamenka'' is ''v Kamence'', ''from Kamenka'' is ''z Kamenky''. | <br>After you have determined the correct name of the town from which your ancestor emigrated, you must still determine its location.
