I found a website of Martin Šulc who had information about Sadská. I e-mailed him and was able to gain some interesting information. He told me that archives in Prague had a lot of information and materials for Sadska, a very old and once important town dating back to the 10th century.
He said all registers of Sadská are kept in the
He also said that you need to be careful tracing a person's ancestry. It is best if you find the records in the archives that directly link you (birth, death, marriage records etc..). He showed me some images from a book that has Slechta names in it. He said even though they show the same house, they may not be related.
He said the book was made by someone centuries later and it is just the list of house owners concerning a particular house. He said the list is chronological, but one must be careful, as this does not mean, they are related! He stated the following example.
For example, he said, you have a Slechta in 1780, then you see Slechta here in the list from 1670, but he may not be your ancestor. Even though it is the same house number, it may only be that someone died and a new incomer came and took the name after the house. Sometimes we have had surprises during our research. He the Slechta's listed here could be related, I would just need to link them together with records.
He also gave me another interesting detail of Sadská. During 1780s it is believed, W.A.Mozart visited Sadská (probably the spa) and later his children repeatedly went there.
