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 in 1936 but there was one good final outcome:
Olga (Slávina) Kořánová (*1937).
Petr: 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.

NOTES
In 2016, there was one Vavruch in Czechia, in Brno. Also one Varuchová in Brno and one in Brandýs nad Labem.
There were 354 Kořáns, 378 with surname Kořánová all mainly in western Bohemia,
48 Vavrouchs, 52 with surname Vavrouchová mainly in Moravia and 138 Vavrochs mainly in Bohemia. More recent information is not available.
There were no Wawruchs or Wawruchová in the Czech Republic. (Statistics and maps from https://www.kdejsme.cz)
It is clear that the version 'Vavrouch' in our family was a mistake. There are other Vavrouchs (and Kořáns) who are not related to us as much as we know. Some unrelated (?) Vavrouchs lived in Kojetín where the mistake was made.
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 Czechoslovakia. However there was a young sportsman, Daniel Vavruch, who lived in Poruba near Ostrava. Maybe he moved to Brno.
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. Derazhnyansky district is the densest center of the surname Vavruch. 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. NÁS MNǑGO!
Наталія Лука-Ваврух 3 September 2014
Да, отец моего мужа родился и вырос в с.Кошляки. Учился во Львовском политехническом институте.Теперь живет и работает в г.Тернополь. Его родители похоронены в с.Кошляки.Живет еще родная сестра - ей 85 лет. В селе остались дальние родственники.
TRANSLATION: Natalia Luka-Vavrukh
Yes, my husband’s father was born and raised in the village of Koshlyaki (Western Ukraine). He studied at the Lviv Polytechnic Institute. Now he lives and works in Ternopil. His parents are buried in the village of Koshlyaki. His sister still lives - she is 85 years old. Distant relatives remained in the village.
For old records showing Vavruchs from Slovakia etc. you could try this link.
Did we have some Jewish ancestors? My mother believed we did but more than three generations ago - thus out of reach of Hitler's race laws.
Now, in April 2021, a lady in Slovakia discovered some for us. She sent me the information on Facebook, the Jews were on my father's side.
In my mother's text 'Moravia', there is this:
"František Vavruch (grandfather of Rudolf Wawruch) was born on 20 January 1793 in Kojetín. He was a peasant and married Veronika (baptised 10/10/1797), a daughter of another resident in Kojetín, Jan Taufer (1762-1840), and his wife Kateřina, née Peštuková."
Viera Krištofová on Facebook:
"Petr Vavruch, Minulý rok som sa na podnet rodiny začala venovať hľadaniu narodenia môjho pradeda Mathiasa Taufera z Kojetina a dlho som ho nevedela nájsť, potom mi pomohli na jednej FB stránke a našli mi jeho narodenie, svadbu jeho rodičov a tak som začala hľadať aj narodenie jeho rodičov. Matku Katarínu Peštukovu som našla , ale Johanesa Taufera som nevedela nájsť. Tak som sa na internete dostala k stránke upisecku net, kde sa o nich písalo ako o rodičoch Veroniky Taufer, ktorá sa vydala za Vavrucha.
Na priloženom dokumente je krst z roku 1785 v Kojetine 23 ročného žida Moyses Kastril a nové meno má Johanes Taufer. Potom sa v roku 1786 oženil s Katarínou Peštukovou."
In short, Jan Taufer was a baptised (in 1785) Jew, Moyses Kastril.
This is quite funny seeing that Prof Wawruch was accused of expressing his nationalist, anti-German, religious and anti-Semitic views in the classroom (in Ostrava in 1885, fortunately, his work was so good that it was soon forgotten.)
And 10 year old Ladislav was spitting from their second floor flat in Kroměříž on Jews walking on the pavement.
