AB A survey in the parish registers of the village Rosice (the district Chrudim) resulted in the findings that Rosice was the birthplace of musician Josef Nagl, and the nearby village Chrast was the birthplace of musician Frantisek Jindrich Zverina. The parish office was located in Chrast and administered Rosice as well. Frantisek Jindrich Zverina and Josef Nagl knew each other probably since childhood and, as far as is known, even after having left abroad, they always performed together. They both worked for many years in Wallerstein where they were best men at each other's weddings (Zverina married twice). This paper complements the basic biographical data of representatives of Czech music in the 18th century. The findings can be included into music dictionaries and encyclopaedias published both in the Czech Republic and abroad.
