MISC15 November 1728Baptism of a Joseph Bulicek ; Libice nad Cidlinou, Czech Republic
RELIGION1729"Catolisch" It should be noted that because Catholicism was the official church religion in much of the area, most people listed themselves as Catholic. In Moravian records his parents were listed as "with the ancient Brethren," forerunners of the Moravians.; 102

He also took communion. See Bolejack_1499 for info on the Moravians; Niesky, Sachsen, Germany38,106
MISC The Moravian Church lived together in tight knit communities. Unmarried men and women lived in separate buildings that they called choirs. So when they refer to Single Brothers' or Sisters' Choirs, they are referring to these groups rather than a singing group.;

It is unclear why the Bullitschek name is plural since he hadn't married yet. Joseph lived with Johann Thomas, later to become the town baker, in Lot # 39. The house still stands on the north side of Church Square although the original house has been covered over with a different exterior. The doorway also used to be located in the center of the facade (where the west window is located currently), but it was moved.
