I am looking for my grandmother's relatives who were born with
this address on her birth certificate: Resanice c.46, okr.
Horazdovice- 26 May 1898 in Czechoslovakia. Her name was Anna
PANUSKOVA (on her birth certificate). Her father's name was Jan
PANUSKA and her mother was Marie SROUBOVA. She immigrated 17
March 1914 from Breman Germany to Ellis Island, USA. She resided
at New York City until her death in 1971. She was married to
Frank CIZEK and had a baby girl Mary.

I am new on computers and hope you will help me. Frank SMRCINA
was born December 1845 and married in 1868 in Bohemia to Mary
CHUNAT or CUNOT. She was born in 1850 and her parents were
Frank & Mary CUNOT. They immigrated to the US in 1869. Mary
Cunot also had 2 brothers in the US: Joseph, born, 1853 and John
born in 1858; maybe came to the US at the same time? Veronica
CHAPEK or CAPEK was born in 1829? Her parents were Joseph and
Veronika Chapek. Veronika was born in 1829 at Hurkey and married
about 1860 (maybe at Hurky ?) to Vitek David, born 1825 at
Velechvin. They had children born at Hurky / Lisov and
immigrated to the US in 1882-1897. Could this be Veronika's
brother - John Chapek, borm 1811 at Domain Trebone Cesky Budiovi
who immigrated to America in 1869? I wish to find the families
in the Czech Republic that correspond with the DAVID, SMRCINA,
CUNOT and / or CHAPEK persons mentioned above. Thanks.

My grandfather, Andrew CIZEK, born in 1867 at Dralovice,
immigrated to the U.S. in 1884. He had four brothers, Joseph;
Robert, born 1880; James, born 1882; Albert Joseph, born 1886;
and Charles, born 1890; and one sister, Mary, born 1883. They
all followed him to the states (USA). Andrew, Joseph, Albert,
settled in Nebraska. James settled at Oakland, California;
Charles settled at Klamath Falls, Oregon; Mary settled at Omaha,
Nebraska. Two siblings, Margaret and Frank, remained in
Czechoslovakia and cared for the younger children until they were
of an age to come to the U.S. My great-grandparents were Joseph
and Margaret VOGLTANC CIZEK. Margaret Vogltanc was born at
Hluboke Domaslic. They lived at Dralovice. I visited the Czech
Republic in 1994, the town (now Skuhrov Dralovice), and a
cemetary at Liten. There was a tombstone of a Joseph Cizek in
that cemetary with the names Katerina and Marie. Margaret Cizek
preceeded Joseph in death. There was no tombstone for her in
that cemetary. I have a photograph of the tombstone with
inscriptions. I would like to be in contact with other
descendants, know more about the family who remained in
Czechoslovakia, what they faced in the 1860's-1900's.

I'm searching for information on Stefan (Steve) GREGOR (born
about 1875) from Banka, Czechoslovakia who immigrated to America
about 1900. About 1905 he brought his wife Eva, his young son
Gustav, his mother Anna, his brother John, and his sister Susie
to America. About 1923 he brought his second wife Emera Gaspar
and her sister Erma Gaspar. Any info on his Czechoslovakian
family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am looking for information on my family. The records here in
the USA were very poor, 100 years ago, so I only have
approximations. The best I can determine is that Martin VITEK
was born at Ratibor, Czech Republic around 1848. He also had a
brother Tomas that was one year older. I have heard he had two
other brothers too, but I don't have any information on them.
He married Anna SLACIK in 1868 at Vsetin. They had one child,
Jon VITEK (possibly Josef too) before they immigrated to America
in 1871. They arrived at New York, and then went to Texas.
Anna SLACIK was born at Vsetin in September 1854. I apologize
for the inaccuracy of this information, but I hope you can help
me solve the mystery of my missing family. Thank you in
advance.

My grandfather Michael Andrew KUSHMA was the second generation of
his family to immigrate to the United States. I know that his
mother spoke Czech and that he was bi-lingual. My grandfather
started his family at Youngstown, Ohio. He lived there much of
the time he was in the United States. He served this country in
the Korean War and received a purple heart. He passed away in
1990, I think. He was married to a Dorothy ? KUSHMA. He later
had my father Don KUSHMA (born 1954). Don got married to (Linda
REED, now Linda REED KUSHMA (born 1958) and they had me (Jason
KUSHMA (born 1979), and a daughter, Megan KUSHMA (born 1981). I
live near Cincinnati, Ohio. Our original surname was KUZMA, and
I think they changed it to KUSHMA because it sounded "more
American". They did this a couple of generations ago. I have a
beautiful family, a wonderful wife (Aarrica KUSHMA, born 1979), a
great daughter (Ava KUSHMA, born 1999) and I'm a twenty-two year
old Videoagrapher and VP of marketing support with a company
called Intrascope (out of Cincinnati). I'm interested in other
stories or family members that I could get some information on.
If you could send me any follow up information or reports or
anything just e-mail me. If you have any information via "snail
mail" you can mail it to my postal address. Thank You.Mbr>

I'm new to geneology web sites, so I don't know what to include.
These are the only dates I have and I'm not really sure of all of
the information. Michael STEFANISN was born 15 November 1877 in
the village of Vyskovce at Saris, Czechoslovakia. He was in the
calvary, but left to avoid fighting (supposedly his own people).
I'm not sure when he immigrated and arrived in the US. He
arrived through the port of New York and was sent to live with
the SKUBON family in Pennsylvania. The SKUBON family moved to
Cleveland, so Michael went to live with an aunt, Julia SHOULTER,
at Marblehead, Ohio. He eventually began working in the quarry
at Kelley's Island, Ohio. He married Anna MALENKI on 9 July 1903
in a Greek Catholic Church in Cleveland, Ohio. Anna had
immigrated from Austria-Hungary and also knew the SKUBONs.
Anna's sister Mary MALENKI later married a SKUBON. Anna and
Michael lived on Kelley's Island and had 4 children there (Anna -
married a LAKATOS, born 1904; Peter, born 1906; Helen - married
Peter PRETKO, [born 1907]; and Michael Joseph, [born 1909, died
1990]). They then moved to Cleveland where Michael delivered
water and cleaned stables for the city; he may have joined the
Teamsters. Anna was a midwife. In Cleveland, they had 4 more
children (Mary, born 1912; Emma - married Robert HEINRICH, born
1915, died 1999; Jane - married Andy BALLA, born 1917; and John,
born 1923). Michael died at Cleveland in 1945 and Anna died at
Cleveland on 7 April 1955. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm looking for any information on the surname MIHALESKO, from
Prague, Czechoslovakia. My great-grandmother was Anna MIHALESKO,
born 15 August 1897. She immigrated to the USA as a little girl;
I'm not sure when. She married John KELCHAK from Pennsylvania.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
SCHANTZ, Janet

eMail address: schantz2001@home.com
Can you help me? I'm trying to find if CERESNIK is a proper
Slavic surname. I have been trying to find my grandfather's
record for coming into the United States through Ellis Island,
but after he came to the U.S., he changed his last name to
CHERRY. He is now deceased. I can't find any Joseph or Josef
Ceresnik in the immigration records. My mother is sure his
original last name was Ceresnik. He was born in 1890 and
immigrated the U.S. through Germany to Ellis Island in 1909, at
which time he was about 19 years old. My mother believes he was
born, and probably lived in Joskovejsa, Czechoslovakia. Please
eMail any response to me at Schantz2001@home.com. Thank you for
any help you can offer. Maybe we're just a little off on the
spelling of the last name.

I am trying to find the family of Joseph ZYKA, born about 1844,
whose daughter, Anna Zyka CHLEBECEK, born about 1869, was my
maternal great-grandmother. Anna and her children immigrated to
the United States in 1898 aboard the ship "Furst Bismarck",
landing aat the port of New York 19 August 1898. I do not know
the maiden or given name of Joseph Zyka's wife. I believe that
Anna and her husband, Tomas Chlebecek (who died in a coal mining
accident about 1892) must have been something other than Roman
Catholic, according to family oral history. They (Tomas and
Anna) lived on Frantiskanska Street at Plzen before his death and
her immigration. I have a photograph of Joseph Zyka and his wife
to compare to photos any family members or descendants may
have.
VALLONE, Marianne

eMail address: Blondecali@aol.com
Albert H. DUSEK was born 12 February 1850. I believe he was born
in Austria, and may have immigrated to the United States when he
was about 6 years old. He arrived at the port of in New York.
The odd thing is, his death certificate states that he was born
in Iowa. He may have married a lady by the name of C.? SMITH
prior to 1890. They had two children: Albert Harry DUSEK, born 4
November 1892 and Raducio? (unknown spelling) changed later to
Russell Ray DUSEK (unsure of birthdate, but within two years of
Albert Harry's birth. The 1900 U.S. Federal Census shows him
living in Sonoma county, California. We have found other
spellings of his name -- DUSICK and DUSCHEK. We have yet to
determine the given name of his wife. C. SMITH was listed in one
of his children's birth certificates, but we have not been
able to obtain any documentation of her birth, marriage, death
or burial in California. It's believed that she emigrated from
Switzerland. I would really appreciate any help that someone may
be able to provide to me. Sincerely.
