Hello. We are trying to find my fiances family roots. We know this person lived in Austria-Hungarian Empire 1874-1911. He died in what is now western Slovakia but all record only point about his life here and that he comes from the city in picture. We are having hard time finding it or translating it. It is currently in Czech Republic. Thank you for any help(already posted this in czech and german subreddit)
