Josef, Thanks for comment. I’ll have to travel to the region before I leave Europe. Bill

Hi Bill, Hi George,
I can confirm that Kralovec family comes from the western part of Bohemia (Czech Republic) near the town Domazlice. This town is a center of a region called Chodsko (the land of Choden) where people have regional dialect and costumes (not too much today).
I am Josef and I come from this region, too.
Congratulations to the nice blog.
Regards to all

I’m Serbian living and working in Florence, Italy for the past 20 years.
I really admire what you are doing. Pitty that US Government do not have somebody as you as senior adviser for Eastern Europe. Keep doing great job!

Hello Bill,
I’m Serbian but I live in Qatar, and I go to an International school. A lot of my teachers have travelled the world like you, but I rarely see anyone who has adapted to foreign countries the way you did. I really like you blog, especially Serbian history, it’s very accurate and detailed!
It was really cool to see my country from a foreigners point of view, especially since when I visited the USA this summer barley anyone knew that Serbia existed.
Keep up the good work!!!!

Kathryn, Our school, which is a private, independent, non-profit school, and not a Serbian school, has been affected by the global economic crisis here in Europe. We experienced a drop in enrollment due to less businesses and diplomatic organizations sending students to the school. We are still in a good position financially and students are receiving a great education, but, we are concerned about the near future of the economy of Serbia and its impact on the school.

Hi Bill,
You have some very interesting blogs, what a great idea! Not only am I also a native Michigander lol, but I am also in the field of education. I am currently teaching in Florida. Just out of curiosity, how do the school systems you have been in compare to schools in the states? It seems our system is struggling at this time.

Best wishes to you and yours,

Kathryn
Ps. I am originally from Brooklyn MI and am a graduate of Central Michigan University.

Hello Bill,

I think that your blog is great, even if I dont like blogs, but yours is quiet interesting.

Do you visit Republika Srpska in Bosnia allready? Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis, etc are nice cities with interesting people and great places, but if you´re really interested in Serbia, than you will find the serbs in Bosnia super interesting. Banja Luka, but also Bijeljina or Zvornik (where my mother is from) are such nice places with so kind and warm-hearted people.

Try and see =)

Your name definitely sounds slavic and I know that any slavic name ending in C is pronounced as TS or CH. The OV means belonging to in Slavic languages, similar to the English OF.
I think your last name starting with Kral means king. I know that Kralj is king in Serbian. You probably had some high ranking people in your ancestry.

Nice website and beautiful pictures.
