I n 1995 my husband, younger son Andy and I traveled to Brno, Czech Republic .We learned there are several streets named for my family. We also learned that the building that Felix Fanderlik my great grandfather designed and built is still being used, this time for some kind of school.. We were touched by the openness and friendliness of the people. We look forward to visiting Czech Republic again. Josef Fanderlik, born about 1839 in Olomouc, died 1895 in Uherske Hradiste. Studied at the academy in Olomouc, later he studied law in Vienna. Became Doctor of Law in Vienna in 1867 and settled eventually as a solicitor/advocate in Uherske Hradiste.

Researching: VANCURA, VAN CURA, MUDRA
I'm just starting my research on my paternal grandparents. They came to America (port unknown) in about 1880 and settled in Tate, Nebraska (Pawnee County) I found, but have misplaced a rather official looking document wherein he renounced his citizenship or allegiance to the Austo-hungarian empire. His first name was Karel and the name was originally spelled as one word with a hachek (sp?) over the c, making the ch sound. I was told by my father that that was why he changed it to 2 words. I am told that he was a master cabinet maker and owned "Tate Lumber" in Nebraska. He and his wife, Anna (nee Mudra) moved to the Chicago, IL area just after 1900, finally settling in Berwyn, IL. He died in 1944. I know this is not much, but would appreciate any assistance at all. Thank you.
