Anna JUNEK was born in Bohemia around 1879 and immigrated to the U.S. around 1900. She met Joseph HRICH, also from Bohemia, on the voyage over and were married. probably in New York city. They moved to Cleveland, Ohio around 1904 and had 8 children: Thomas, Jerry, Edward, Lottie, Helen, Bertha, Marie, and Mildred. Marie Hrich married Walter CHAPEK, who's parents were Joseph CHAPEK from Bohemia and Anna ZIMMERMAN from Germany (their children: Walter, Raymond, and Helen). I am looking for any information on CHAPEK, HRICH, and JUNEK if at all possible from there homeland of Bohemia. I would like to hear from any possible relatives.

I am searching for my grandfathers family. His widowed mother was Josefina KREJCI. His name was Adolf KREJCI. He was born at Vienna Austria in 1896 and I have a report card from somewhere over there dated 1902. I believe it was his school report for his transfer to America. It says something about Ameriky at the top. I do not know his fathers name, but I do know that he worked in a boiler factory. Adolf had one brother, Frank. We think they arrived in America through Ellis Island. I can not find any record of the immigration. They went to Valley County Nebraska and he lived his life out in Garfield Nebraska. A teacher changed the spelling of his name to Alfred CRAICHY. Can you help me?

My great-grandmother, Barbara KOHINKE, married George Washington BURNS 13 March 1889, possibly in Linn county, Iowa. She was born abt 1870 or 1871 and died 1 January 1935 in Linn county, Iowa. In 1880, she and her family appeared on the census at Solon, Johnson county, Iowa: Matthias Kohinke (Self, M, 49, Bohemia); Mary Kohinke (Wife, F, 43, Bohemia); Mary (Daughter, F, 20, Iowa); Martin (Son, M, 16, Iowa); Annie (Daughter, F, 14, Iowa); Katie (Daughter, F, 12, Iowa); Barbara (Daughter, F, 10, Iowa), and Josephine SLIDAK (Step-daughter, F, 7, Iowa). Matthias and Mary would have had to come to America in 1860 at the latest - there may have been some older children, but I have not yet located them in the 1860 or 1870 census. I would like to find more information on when they came, exactly where in Bohemia they came from (if possible) and who Matthias' and Mary's parents were.

I am searching for relatives living in the area of Parchen / Archen / Schelten / Stein Schoenau, Bohemia, Czech Republic. My great-grandfather, Joseph KLINGER, was born in Bohemia on 18 February 1861 to Gottlieb KLINGER and M. MUSELEC. The names of his parents were supplied by Joseph at the time of his second marriage in Wisconsin USA on a certificate of marriage. I do not have any other information on his parents or his siblings. Joseph was married to Pauline MAY 26 January 1891 in Bohemia. She was born 21 June 1864 in Bohemia. I do not have any information on her parents or siblings. Joseph died 5 March 1931 at Medford, Taylor county, Wisconsin USA. Pauline died 9 June 1923 at Chippewa Falls, Chippewa County, Wisconsin USA.

Joseph and Pauline lived in the Parchen / Archen / Schelten / Stein Schoenau area where they had at least 6 children: Emma Pauline, born 10 August 1891 (my grandmother); Richard, born 6 March 1894; Joseph, Jr., born around 1896; Kamilla, born in 1897; Otto, born 3 July 1900; and Pauline, born 11 December 1902. There is a family story that there was a younger sister that died shortly after their arrival in the USA, and is buried under a big oak tree in North Carolina. We don't have any information on her - not even her name, but I assume she would have been born sometime between 1902 and 1907. Pauline supposedly had another child while enroute to the USA. That child died at birth and was buried at sea. The family was of the Catholic religion. They left Bohemia in 1907 with their 6 children. We don't have any further information on the family that was left behind. Does anyone know of any of these families - KLINGER, MAY, or MUSELEC - past or present? I know about where the villages of Parchen, Schelten, and Stein Schoenau are located, but I don't know much about them, so any information about the area - or a reference to a source for that information - would be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you in advance for your help.

I am looking for information about my great grandfather, John HEJDUK (later changed to HEYDUK). He was born in either 1862 or 1864, at Radnice, Bohemia. He married Marie Fisher, we believe in Bohemia. She was born in 1871 and died in 1935. He immigrated to the USA prior to 1890 and died in 1945.

I am researching my family tree and wanted to know if anyone knows where Kammitz, Austria or Bohemia is located? Also, would anyone know where Parchen / Schelton (small villages in Bohemia) were located. I understand that my great grandparents came from Bohemia in 1891. Their names were Anna and Anton SCHULZE (SCHOLZE). Anna was a FRIETCHE. Her mother was Rosalie POOLE (PUHL) I can't seem to find any relatives of hers. All I know is that she had a brother who immigrated to America in 1901 and died two months later. I would appreciate any information or references. Thank you.

My grandmother, Ida WILKE, was born 1879 in the then Austro-Hungarian Empire at Reichenberg, Bohemia, Austria - now Liberec, Czech Republic. She married Arthur Paul SCHUBERT at Chemnitz, Germany in 1896 - they immigrated to Chicago in 1902. Her parents were Josef Frank WLK and Carolina Anna PILZ, born at Jirsko and Altharzdorf respectively. They married at Altharzdorf in 1867. Josef Frank WLK's parents were Frantisek VLK and Elisabetha KOR'ATKO, born at Hubßlov (Hubsslov) and Koryta respectively - they married in 1842 at Loukovec. Carolina PILZ's parents were Johann Franz PILZ and Franziska LINDNER, born at Altharzdorf and Dorfel respectively - they married in 1835 at Dorfel. I'm searching for information on the VLK side in particular, but would appreciate any information on any of the persons listed. Thank you.

I am trying to find information about a bohemian glassblowers family by the name of HELLER. The father, Karl HELLER, immigrated together with his son to Belgium about 1917. According to my information, the Heller-family was active in glassblowing for three generations. Karl Heller was born at Meistersdorf in 1886 and went to a glass-art school at Steinschönau, Sudentenland. He was married to Pauline TUSCHL, born at Bergreichenste in 1886. The great-greatfather's name was Wilhelm HELLER. Any information to track down this family-history is welcome.

On my paternal grandmother's side, she was a BORYS, or BORIS. I have a relative named Franz WELETA (WILETA, VILETA, etc. ?). Franz was born in 1769 in "Bohemia". That comes from an Ahnenpasz of a BORYS relative. At some point, Mr. Weleta immigrated to the village of Molodia in the Province of Bukowina. Molodia is southeast and near the city of Czernowitz in present-day Ukraine. He married a Sofia Czichowski and died at Molodia in November 1849. I hope this information is of help to someone, and will lead to finding out more about my Weleta relative. Thanx.

My great grandfather, Joseph WALLISH / WALLISCH, immigrated from Borilz, Bohemia in 1891 and settled at Shamokin, Pennsylvania. His father, Joseph / Josef J. WALLISH / WALLISCH, immigrated with his wife Katherina and children Johanna, Josepha and Maria on the German ship "Aller", arriving at the port of New York on 19 October 1900 from the port of Bremen Germany. The ship's manifest listed them as being from Borilz, Bohemia. I am looking for any information on the city or village of Borilz and the WALLISCH family. Thanks.

Miroslav (Mike) KOKES, the son of Miroslav KOKES and Marie Kokes, was born in 1921 at Prague, and immigrated to the USA about 1949-1950. Aloyiscious (phoenetic) may be the name of the grandfather. He had a cousin Charles on father's side of family.
