Question:

What is the nationality of someone whose first name is Mathiades Hradistenus?Sorry, I`d mistake at first time.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Somewhere in or near the Balkans, but I wouldn't be specific to the Czech republic just because that's the only place you got hits. The region is overwhelmingly poor, so using computers and setting up websites isn't a priority. Focus on the linguistics, not web hits, and you'll find it's somewhere between Albania, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, and eastern Hungary.

The other possibility is that you're looking at a sacramental record and the spelling has been "Latinized" from the days when the RCC put everything in Latin. My great-aunt Bernice's baptismal record says her name is "Bernicium"...that's just how the priest translated it. But in the vernacular, she was still "Bernice."

BTW, you might want to get to know the folks at this site. I have a feeling their databases will help more than what's on the internet: http://www.cgsi.org/aboutus.asp...
