I am trying to find lost relatives with these last names, but I'm "stuck in the tree". Can you help? My great-grandparents - Alois Verba/Vrba and Barbora Najman came to NYC around 1885 from Bohemia. My other great-grandparents - Frank Kropacek and Barboria Doskocil came to NYC around 1890. He was from Villemuf near Prague she was born in Moravia. They married in NYC. Doskocil's sister married Mr. Hubner and had a son, Joseph. Najman's mom's maiden name was Loebel or maybe Locbel. Somehow the Verba's are cousins to the Lustig family. Everyone settled in NYC, then to Astoria in Queens, then finally to different parts of Long Island. My grandmother was Mary Kropacek who married Joseph Verba. They lived in Long Island. Barboria Doskocil died a very tragic death on Dec. 24, 1900.

Hi, I'm searching for the birth information of Mary Fried, born April 6, 1876 in Friedersdorf, which might be the town now called Cakova, near Krnov in Moravia. Before 1918 the area was part of Austrian Silesia, which fits the information that I received that Mary was born in Austria. Her parents were Ignatz Fried (to my knowledge this is his original surname before immigration as well as after) and Theresa Hager. Ignatz took his family to Bremerhaven, Germany and then on to the United States where they settled in Minnesota. I'm hoping I can locate Mary's birth information to verify her parents origins and name as well. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who might have information on Mary or her family. Thanks.

Researching: BAROSH, BAROS, ZELENKA
I am researching the Barosh (Baros) family that came from Moravia to the US (Texas) in Nov 1870. I would like to know if anyone has information on Michael Barosh (Baros) and Anna Zelenka. They came from Roznow, Moravia, Czechslovakia. They had eight kids and 1 was born at sea, coming to the US. I am trying to find information on who their parents were. If anyone one else is researching these people or any of their descendents, I have some information I'm willing to give. Any help would be appreciated.

Researching: BEMER, BOEHMER
I remember my grandfather, Andrew Bemer (or Boehmer), telling me that he came from a small town in Czechoslovakia that sounded like "Nizna Boca". Does anyone have any resources or internet sites for this area? Thank you.
