The Vanicek name of my family goes back to the start of 16th century in the region of Trebic (Kracovice , Mastnik , Lesna , Markvartice , Starc etc) . The oldest mention from the start of the 15th century is written Waniczek . It continues this way unchanged untill the second half of the 18th century where it changes to the modern form Vanicek .
