Researching: VESELEY, KLOBOUCNIK
I am an English aviation historian currently researching the history of RAF Cranage, a Royal Air Force station in the north-west of England. During late 1940 to October 1941, no. 96 Squadron were stationed here. Several pilots were of Czechoslovakian origin. I have two names and wonder if you or visitors to your web site might be able to assist me with any information about them or other Czech pilots who flew with the squadron during its time at RAF Cranage. The names of the two pilots are as follows: Flying Officer V. Veseley; Flying Officer J Kloboucnik. They would have flown Hurricane and Defiant fighters in nightfighter configuration. Any information about either gentleman would be received with grateful thanks. Many thanks for any assistance you may be able to give to me

Researching: URDZIK
I am searching my mothers side of the family. The surname is Urdzik. Talking to the family members, no one seems to know where they came from, however, my aunt seems to remember Galicia. Does anyone know if that is a town or village in Slovakia? Also if a person knows the town, how do you find the name of the church that has the records of your ancestors?
