Visit to Roučkovice and Pacov

In the summer of 2003, Charlie Krizek, son of Blanche (Pelisek) Krizek, grandson of Joseph Pelisek, visited the Czech Republic with his wife Vicki.  They hired a car and a translator to go with them to visit Pacov and Rouckovice, where his grandfather had lived.  In Rouckovice, the translator asked a woman if she knew where the Pelisek family had lived.  She pointed to a house and said that was the Pelisek house, but that the people who lived there were out of town.  Charlie was able to take a photo of the back of the house.  The Krizeks also saw the church in Pacov, and found the Pelisek grave in the cemetery.  The following are photos Charlie took and later allowed me to scan.
