	Hearing of roots, Czech village roots Kerry on - The Boston Globe
		Like others in Horni Benesov, a poverty-stricken village of about 2,500 people, Klech is for Kerry because he views him as a native son.
		Jiri Stibor, chief archivist for the Opava region, where Horni Benesov's records are kept, said the records seemed to indicate that both Otto and Fritz, and perhaps other members of the family, moved out of Horni Benesov, possibly to Vienna, around that time.

		THE MAYOR of the small mountain town of Horni Benesov in the Czech Republic says that when he first told people that John Kerry's grandfather was from there they thought he was pulling their legs.

	The Other Franz Ferdinand: Experiences In Bensov And Konopiste Castle ~ by Matthew Gregory
		A train ticket to Benesov costs the equivalent of two dollars, which I would say is cheap even by Czech standards, although some might say it was too expensive.
		Benesov, which is south of Prague, is accessible via trains heading to Ceske Budejovice from Prague's main train station or from Vrsovicke nadrazi.
		Konopiste Castle, the main destination for tourists, is 2 km's away from the railway station and is situated in the opposite direction of Benesov; it wasn’t visible to me in Benesov, but just having the view of Benesov was satisfying enough.
