Family member Dr.Jan Masek completed the first analysis of Vyborny branch of Hermanuv Mestec / Chrudim (Eastern Bohemia) based on his extensive research at the State Regional Archive at Zamrsk. Only very limited information was available up to now: both few data excerpted for " The Vyborny Book" by MUDr.Josef(*1864) Vyborny and some private archive records provided courtesy of members of the family branch. The General Index of Berni Rula (published in 2003) motivated further study implying Vyborny members lived in this region yet before 1654. Jan Masek recently found the archive record regarding Jan Wyborny whose son Vaclav was born at Bylany (between H.Mestec and Chrudim) in 1658 - he is the earliest member of the branch known to us at present.

   
8.

The earliest archive record regarding the Vyborny line of Havlickuv (Nemecky) Brod discovered by Dr.Jiri Pavlicek at the State Regional Archive Zamrsk (Eastern Bohemia) recently. It refers to the birth of Jan Wyborny's daughter Alzbeta [Elisabeth] at Vadin in 1678 (for 36 years earlier than the oldest Vyborny record in Theresian Cadastre of that region known to us so far). According to Karel Kysilka's hypotheses such a Patriarch of H.Brod Vybornys was supposed to exist. The proof was missing, however, until Jiri Pavlicek's new finding. Origin of Vybornys of H.Brod region and their potential relations to other family lines is still under study.

A new version of a well-known fraudulent e-mail/letter appeared recently. Usually the letter refers to descendants of deceased monarchs or government representatives who claim to have deposited large amounts of money in banks. A victim is asked to forward their personal records in order to aid the proper transfer of this money.
This time a virtual member of Vyborny family is involved instead (an example of this e-mail here) - and the e-mail is sent to Vybornys in other countries. The addressee is asked to take part in certain financial transaction related to the above-mentioned bank. But the goal of this and similar e-mails is to take money from the addressee in advance or to learn some sensitive data (bank accounts, etc.) from him. Naive persons are known to have lost considerable amounts of money accepting such "an advantageous offer".
