Johannes Nepomucenus Kottal was born on 4 May 1763 in Albrechtsried, Bohemia (now the Czech Republic). My Kottal ancestors lived nearby, so there could be a familial connection.
At age 17, I began a #OneNameStudy on the surname Kottal but I had no idea how to approach such a study then, so the task was too overwhelming. Now I am starting over. The first step is to sort all my old notes, which I have luckily kept.
