I am seeking information on the surnames of Voska and Kracmer. My great grandfather, Jeraslav Voska and his wife Marie (Bauer), immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1900's. from Bohemia and settled in the Chicago area. His sister Toni (Antonia?) also came over at the same time. I believe they came from Plizen. My grandfather seems to think that Jeraslav also had two other sisters that remained in Bohemia. I know even less about the Kracmer side except that they are Bohemian and settled in Chicago. I've just begun to search and have very little information to go on- any help will be appreciated!
