Kladruby is a town in the Czech Republic, in the region of Rokycany, Plzeň. This project refers to the Kladruby in Rokycany area, not the Kladruby in the Tachov region.
There are several towns in the Plzen region with the name Kladruby.
One in county Tachov (near the town Stříbro) and the second in neighborhood of Hřešihlavy in county Rokycany. The distance between Hřešihlavy and Kladruby/Rokycany is 2,5 km (therefore now integrated). The distance between Hřešihlavy and Kladruby/Tachov is 86 km. Kladruby/Rokycany you can find northeast from Plzeň and Kladruby/Tachov west from Plzeň. Kladruby/Tachov was a German speaking town, Kladruby/Rokycany a Czech speaking town. Source; Hans Petr Grab.
The Geni place recognition function may state Hresihlavy, Kladruby, Plzen, Czech Republic thus combining the two towns. They are presently integrated due to population growth over time. However, this is not the correct designation for individuals connected with either town in the 1800's; should be one or the other, not both.
Ref: Peter Grab "The correct German place name was Reschihlau and the Czech name Hřešihlavy. Hřešihlavy are now part of the 2,5-km distant neighboring little town Kladruby, but Hřešihlavy are not the same place as Kladruby. Kladruby were never known as Rescholau or Hresihlavy.
