Matěj Vavruch (*1826,+1906) and his wife Johanna, later Jana, Gardavská (*1821 (birth certificate) or *1825 (family grave in Kojetín),+1899) had four children, of which two survived to adulthood:
Rudolf Wawruch (*1852,+1920) and
František Vavrouch (*1855,+1924).
The following text covers their descendants and some of those of Rudolf's sister-in-law, Františka Klapilová.
Jan Kořán (*1831,+1907) and his wife Františka Rybáčková (*1832,+1897) had three children, of which two survived to adulthood:
Robert Jan Kořán (*1859,+1943) and
Jindřich Kořán (*1868,+1952).
The following text gives information available to us about their descendants.
Rudolf Wawruch (*1852,+1920) married Anna Klapilová (*1863,+1944) in 1885.
Robert Jan Kořán (*1859,+1943) married Marie Schwarzová (*1874,+1956) in 1894.
Both Rudolf Wawruch and Robert Jan Kořán had 3 children surviving to adulthood (numbered (1), (2) and (3) below).
(1) Zdeněk Vavruch married (1) Eliška Kořánová.
(2) Ludmila (Lidka) Vavruchová (*1890,+1957), married Vladimír Věrný (*1887,+1935).
Lidka was a very talented painter. Her sister-in-law was a mystical poet Božena Fmarja Věrná, reputedly briefly TGM's lover. (She received some support from him and bought a fur coat with it.) Lidka kept Vladimír's ashes in her glass cabinet and they were then buried with her in her coffin in Vavruch family grave in Bubeneč. I remember her divining using a pack of cards. Whenever the face of Death appeared, she would not warn against some impending disaster, but simply used the word in an old saying "Než by se smrti nadál..." ("Sooner than you would expect Death...", meaning "Suddenly, pretty soon...") and continued the sentence with something quite unrelated. (Petr)
(2) Viktor Kořán married:
(3) Ladislav (Laďa) Vavruch married (3) Marie (Mářa) Kořánová.

The marriage was divorced but there was one good final outcome:
Olga (Slávina) Kořánová (*1937).
Olu belongs to the category of family myths and legends. She was extremely gifted in many ways and probably more than little spoilt (she came from a family a lot richer than were the Kořáns). She was artistic and an accomplished translator (e.g. books by Richard Halliburton). Obviously she was a real character and so I insisted on meeting her (for the first time) before our emigration. She decided that she would call herself uncle Olu because I already had too many other aunts. (Petr)

NOTES:
It is assumed, particularly by Vavruchs, that the version 'Vavrouch' was a mistake. There are other Vavrouchs (and Kořáns) who are not related to us. There are 359 Kořáns, 146 Vavrochs and 52 Vavrouchs in the Czech Republic. (This statistic, unfortunately, gives only male holders of the surnames.)
Rudolf wrote his surname 'Wawruch' because he did not want German speakers to pronounce it [fafruch]. This is also historical spelling used by e.g. Dr Ondřej Ignác Wawruch (*1771 or 73 or 82,+1842), the last physician of Beethoven (generally not blamed for Beethoven's death).
The version 'Wawruch' is used by families in eastern Poland. Michał Wawruch was born there in 1872 and he died on 1st June 1939 in Abramów, which is an administrative village north-west of Lublin. His son, Bolesław Wawruch, was born on 9th December 1906 in Abramów and died there on 8th February 1989. His son, Marian Wawruch, was born in 1936 in Marcinów, a small village very near Abramów, and lives in Lublin, just like his grandson Piotr (see photo).
There is also Konrad Wawruch, a biomolecular scientist, and prof. Ryszard Wawruch in Gdynia.
We thought that there were no Vavruchs left in the Czech Republic. However there is a young sportsman, Daniel Vavruch, who lives in Poruba near Ostrava.
And there was was doc. RNDr Alojz Wawruch, born in Hungary in 1939, who lived in Prague from 1963 and died on 16 April 1999 in Stupava.
There is Dr Martin Wawruch in Bratislava, T.M Wawruch in the USA and Miguel Wawruch in Brazil.
There are apparently many Vavruchs in Ukraine and Belarus. Male or female, they use the surname, in cyrilic alphabet, BABPYX (also BABPYK). Some of them moved to the USA and Canada and use the English spelling Vavrukh. NAS MNOGO!
