Cimbura Family History in the Czech Republic

One of my ancestors...possibly my great-great-great grandfather, Jan Cimbura, was famous for being an upstanding citizen. Josef Baar wrote a 400 page book about him in Czech in the early 1900s. Then the first half of the book was made into a movie. A copy of the movie (also in Czech) was sent to me by a Miroslav Cimbura who lives in the Czech Republic. In March 2000 the book was translated by Blanch Zelmer.

Armed with information from the book, I visited to the Czech Republic in the summer of 2000. Here is a summary of the book about Jan Cimbura. It contains things I considered interesting and important. See the maps for location details.

The movie about Jan Cimbura is now online (at least part of it) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-CYOv05raM
