It is clear (from these information) that Josef Vitous (borned 1.4. 1848) was not a brother of Jan Baptist (Krtitel). In the same time several Vitous' family lived and have children in the Parishes of Stupno and Radnice.We indicate that searching in the way to the present, conseqently for living members of family is very time and money consuming and it is not often succesful. There mostly were not any notices in the birth recores about later moving, marriages etc. In the case of your interest we can try to find datas about other destinies of Jan Baptist (Krtitel) sisters and brothers. But you must take account of long lasting backround research with uncertain result. It is charge of CZK 260 - CZK 380 per hour only of researching not for found record ( even in the case of unsuccessful result). This charge tax is counted even of negative result.
