     Biography of Jan Buřval:
Jan Buřval of this record is first known as Jan the son of Vítek of Trhonice. This is based on a 1593 declaration of inheritance and title to a farm recorded in the 1575 Policá Land Books. That 1593 declaration shows that Vítek of Trhonice had died leaving orphan children, Jan, Anna and Peter. The declaration indicates that Jan, son of Vítek inherits the farm leasehold and must pay Anna and Peter their share of the farm in the amount of 55 kopecs each at the rate of 5 kopecs each year. It appears that by 1601 Jan has completely dispatched his debt to his siblings and is the sole title holder of the farm.

The 1593 declaration also contains a marriage agreement where in the summer of 1594, Jan the son of Vítek of Trhonice voluntarily entered into a contract of marriage with Markétou daughter of Gzmplovou of Sedliště.

Church and land records dated after 1627 show that the children listed below are the children of Jan Buřvala and his wife, Marketa Gyymplová. Thus between 1601, when Jan the son of Vítek of Trhonice had dispatched his debt on the farm and the 1627 marriage record of Ondřej Buřvala to Anna Librová, Jan the son of Vítek of Trhonice had acquired the surname Buřvala to become Jan Buřvala and the first to bear the Buřval surname.

Jaroslav Dobias a Buřval descendant suggests that the meaning of the Buřval surname is “one that roars like a cow“ or “has a strong voice like a cow“.
