Dear Sir I am looking for information in the book "Popis obyvatelstva hlavního města Prahy z roku 1770 by Dr. Eduard Šebesta about families with the surname Preis or Schaffer. I know that one of the children of the families would be Dominicus Preis and Anna Maria Schaffer respectively. They were both quite young, less than 5, at the time. I know that Dominicus Preis became a mason, so his father may also have been one. I would appreciate any help you may be able to give.

Odpověď

First of all we would like to apologize for delayed answer. Unfortunately we did not find requested information in the book "Popis obyvatelstva hlavniho mesta Prahy z roku 1770". In this book was published only description of the Old Town of Prague. In the year 1770 there were four independent royal towns of Prague - Old Town of Prague (Stare mesto prazske), Lesser Town of Prague (Mala Strana or Mensi mesto prazske), Hradcany and  New Town of Prague (Nove mesto prazske). A royal decree merged the four historical Prague Towns into the unified City of Prague managed by one city hall in the year 1784. This book includes results of census in Old Town of Prague, which was aimed at men only. We tried to find some other published lists of people living in Prague in that time, but it seems this information are available on in archival materials.
