Researching: MALANOVA
I will be visiting the Czech Republic soon and want to trace back to my maternal grandparents. I was hoping you could help me.
My grandmother's name was Katerina Malanova and was born in "Malince" (maybe Malinec?) in Bohemia in January 11, 1874. My grandfather was Frank M. Yilek, born on June 1, 1870 in "Petrovic" (Petrovice?), which I also believe was in Bohemia. They both emigrated to the US. to raise a family of 13 children!
I have the names and birth dates of their parents as well. I am unsure of the spellings of their birth cities in quotation marks, as that's how they were passed on to me. Preliminary investigation on my part suggests that the spellings in parentheses may be the true spellings?
Can you help me?

Researching: DAUBEK, SOYKA, JAUKNER
I am trying to identify the ancestors who may help connect several
families of Daubeks here in the USA. My grandfather, Josef Daubek and my
great-grandmother MarieKris came to the US about 1904. My grandfather
was born June 6, 1889 somewhere in Bohemia in what was the
Austro-Hungarian Empire, later Czechoslovakia, and now the Czech
Republic. Another family's knowledge goes back as far as their great
grandfather Joseph Soyka, the father of their grandmother Rose Soyka
born on June 9, 1877 in Austria. Rose Soyka married Joseph J. Daubek
born March 13, 1870 in Bohemia. Joseph J. Daubek's parents were
Leo(pold) Daubek and Johanna Jaukner. I have some data up to about 1805
and some from 1898 to now, but no info in between. Any information
would be greatly appreciated.

Researching: FIALA, SEDLECKY
I am trying to find out more about my family's Czech connections. I believe my father
was born in a place called Sobortin in 1914. His name was Wilhelm Adolf as was his father
before him. He lived in Teplice up until the end of the 2nd World War.
Also my mother's family interests me. Her maiden name was Elisabeth Barbara Sedlecky.
Many thanks for your help.
