Vlach of Pisek ca 1750

Classification: Query
Surnames: Vlach, Pechousek
My ancestry traces back to Pavel Vlach (b. ca. 1721, in Kestrany, Pisek Bohemia) and his father Jan Vlach (b. 12 June 1689, Kestrany, Pisek, Bohemia). Pavel Vlach married the widow Ludmila, inhertress of a large farm owned by her deceased husband, Tomas Pechousek. As was common in those days, Pavel and Ludmila took the name Pechousek because it was the name of the farm on which they lived and subsequently raised a family .... including my ancestors. Church records of the day clearly show that although they named children as Pechousek, they were "otherwise known as Vlach".

I am interested in contacting anyone who might have 1750 era Vlach ancestors from the region of Pisek in Southern Bohemia.
