Family History Beginners Board / Re: Are Czech last names gender specific?

Ah, that is very interesting, I was wondering why four generations of family named their children the exact same first names.  Thanks!

Family History Beginners Board / Are Czech last names gender specific?
« on: Wednesday 03 April 19 21:37 BST (UK)  »
Can someone confirm whether Czech family last names are gender specific?  I have a fairly large group in my family tree and it appears the females will have a version of the last name and the men a slightly sorter version of the same name.   Date ranges are 1600-1700 and even 1800s.

For example: 
Střihavková  (female)
Střihavka (male)

or

Dubský (male)
Dubská (female)

These are only a couple examples, but there are several, also appears the maiden name is often left out of records, was that common?

Ah, okay, I understand, so this image means the photographer is Heinrich Harmsen.  The names listed on the site are of photographers.  I just want to make sure I understand how that site is set up, google translate only works so well.  :)

The fotorever site is very interesting, does it just show examples of the different photography studios?  Is it limited to studios from certain countries?  For example, I noticed in the introduction it mentions Atelier, that would be the photographer correct?  I have photos with this name on them, mainly from Austria though.

So the photo studio was only in business for those years?

Here is an image of the back side of the photo I posted earlier.

I do not know the birth date of the individual in the photo.   I am working on our genealogy and this is just one of many photos without a name or date.  I have a whole box of pretty old photos, most in the 1800s, some older.  This part of the family is from Austria and Czech, my grandfather and great grandfather were born in Austria, the great great grandfather was born in Czech. in 1792.  I was hoping this would be him, but if the date of 1909 is accurate than certainly this must be another family member.   I thought I had the picture of the backside here, but it's on my home computer.  I'll post later.  No names or dates on the back though.   (I wish it were that easy)

Hello, I am trying to identify the country and approximate time frame for this uniform.  It looks similar to an Austrian uniform, but I can't be sure.  Some of the metals look Austrian as well.   If the specific conflict is apparent that would be great to know as well.
