Researching: FRIEDL
I am looking for information on the Friedl family. My great grandmother, Margaret Friedl, immigrated to the United States in the late 1800's. She had several brothers and sisters, including Wenzel, who was born in Mogalzen, Bohemia. I think all of the children were born in this town but I can't find it on a map. My great great grandfather was Anton Friedl and I believe he and his wife remained in Bohemia while their children all came to the US. The children settled in Iowa and many relatives still live there. My great grandmother came west and married an Oregon farmer. Any information about Anton Friedl and his family in Bohemia would be appreciated.

We found a great-great grandparent's house in Nemojov in Oct of 1996 where cousins were living but no one knows anything about relatives prior to immigration....could be Jewish as they claim cemetaries "destroyed in the war" and we have also heard that Nemojov was a "Jewish village". Surname Maroushek (US) or Marousek (Czech). Seems to be an uncommon name both in the US and in the Czech Republic at least according to the Czech phone book. We know of most Marousheks in the US and can connect to about half. Thanks for any help or information about our Czech ancestors!

Both of my maternal great-grandparents were born in the village of Wassersuppen, now called Nemanice. George and Marie {Mack} Fellner had 12 children, seven survived to adulthood. They were Roman Catholic and I believe their church was called the Visitation. Does that church still exist? George was born in 1834 and Marie in 1840. Both emigrated to the United States in the summer of 1901 with their youngest daughter Theresia. Four other children had previously emigrated and two had married and moved to Vienna. Joseph and Catherine {Ascherl} Stangl also were born in Assersuppen -Joseph on Mar 19, 1850 and Catherine on Nov. 10, 1850. They must have emigrated sometime before 1886 when their sixth child was born in the United States. They had eight children...four were born in Wassersuppen...I am not sure about the fifth.
