Melinda,
Your "Muhalkovice" should be Michalkovice (derived from "Michal" = Michael).Michalkovice was a large village a few miles east of the city of Ostrava in northeastern Morava, about 8 miles south of the Polish border.Michalkovice has now grown to be a suburb of Ostrava, as has the village of Hermanice, located 2 miles northwest of Michalkovice.This area, as all of today's Czech Republic, was part of the Austria -- within Austro-Hungarian Empire -- until the end of WWI, when Czecho-Slovakia was formed.
