Wow. I think I found a brother of Grandma's born in Drazice in 1882 to Jan Smejkal and Anna Novotna, but he only lived for 28 days. In the death notice archives, you can actually see what was the cause of death, for instance in 1884 there was an outbreak of smallpox "nestovice". One of the most common I can't translate though "psotnik" (sp?) It may be about spirits or something.
