History

Myslív's church

The first written mention of the village dates back to 1558. Its name is allegedly based on scorpions that once lived there, now represented in its flag. Its Catholic parish seat has traditionally been Myslív. Surnames of the village reaching back to the 17th century include Liska, Popule, Cihla, Ciz, and Ticha.

Genealogy and Immigration to America

So far, about 114 people born in Nehodiv have been identified as immigrating to America, a high ratio given a population averaging around 300. The earliest immigrants from the village were probably the families of Vaclav Koncal and Matej Popule who arrived together in Baltimore in early 1869. They were followed by Matej Zeleny who arrived with his wife Anna Barochova from Neprochovy and 7 of their surviving children in New York en route to Baltimore. They were followed by Josefa Zelena (1835-1892) with her husband from Mysliv, Jan Rada, and children who settled in Baltimore in 1869. She was followed by Josef Klečka (1852-1926) who arrived in 1870. There he married Marie Hraničková (1851-1913) from Kvášňovice. Josef returned multiple times to visit his mother and siblings, perhaps encouraging other villagers to follow him.

Other early immigrants include Václav Končal (1843-1925) who brought his wife Marie Víšková (1844-1906) to Saint Paul, Minnesota around the same year. Never having biological children, the couple adopted Václav's brother son Václav and Marie's sister's daughter Josefa.[6]

A significant number of the immigrants share a DNA and blood relation via children of the couple Krystof Sramek (1700-1767) and Katerina Hithova (1705-1760) from Klikarov, Vojovice, and Louzna in the 18th century.

  • Katerina Sramkova (1727-1798) is the ancestor of the Kotesovec's and the Popule's.
  • Dorota Sramkova (1730-1796) is the ancestor of the Protova's, Blazek's, and Vojtech Zeleny (specifically).
  • Ondrej Sramek (1743-) is the great grandfather of the Poustkova sisters. Josefa Poustkova is the ancestor of the Stepan's (DNA) and Melichar's (DNA). Marie Poustkova is the ancestor of the Klecka's. Ludmila Poustkova is the ancestor of the Mares', Behensky's and Hlavac's.
  • Simon Sramek (c. 1745-1813) is the ancestor of Frantisek Koncal's wife Frantiska Sramkova (from Mysliv) as well as Stipek DNA matches from other villages.

Some other immigrants also share relation through the couple Jan Franek and Dorota Sourova.

The immigrants are listed as follows (women are paired with their maiden names):
