Researching: SADILEK, SADELICK, KRAL, BOZEVICH
Requesting any information on Sadilek, Sadelick, Kral or Bozevich. My relative Josef Sadilek arrived with wife, Marie; children: Antonie 16, Josef 13, Anton 9, Marie 7 on Mar. 20, 1881 at the port of Baltimore, having immigrated from Bohemia. They were accompanied by a Josef Peter Sadilek 30 and Anna Sadilek 24.By 1890, Josef Sadilek was paying taxes on farm property on Bowie Road, between Laurel and Bowie, Maryland. He paid again in 1893 but by 1900, the farm is owned by John Sadilek, wife Sophia with children Rudolph 9, Joseph 8, John 6, Mary 2. Rudolph, a railroad engineer, lived in Front Royal, Virginia. Joseph is last known to have worked on the Musselworth Dam in Calif in 1920. Mary remained in Laurel having five children, Josephine, Joseph, Evelyn, Marie and Blanche. My mother, Evelyn, remembers being visited by relatives from the Baltimore area by the name of Kral. She particularly remembers a cousin named Elsie Kral. Family memory says that members of the original group spread to New York, Hagerstown, and Pennsylvania. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Researching: PODZIMEK, KOTRBA, PULKRAB
Are we related? I know very little about my heritage! I do know that my Grandfather, Josef Podzimek was born in 1856 and married Mary [Marie] Kotrba in 1884. On 5 May 1886 a son, Josef S. was born to them. Shortly after his birth they came to the United States from the vicinity of Tabor in what is now the Czech Republic. They lived in Baltimore Md. for a short while, then came to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on 20 Sept. 1891 my father, Frank Vaclav was born to them, here in Cedar Rapids. They had two more children, Blanch Mary on 2 Oct. 1893 and Ralph on12 March 1896. Grandmother died in 1898, two years after Ralph was born. Grandfather died 5 years later on 12 Mar 1903, leaving the children orphans. I do know that Grandfather had at least one brother and one sister in Czechie. I, Frank Thomas, am 72 years old, I was born here in Cedar Rapids. My mother's maiden name was Rose Agnes (Ruzena Anezka) Pulkrab. She had come to the U.S. from Pocatky, Moravia in 1912 with her father, when she was 16 years old and while living in Wahoo and Schyler, Nebraska, she worked as a domestic for several families to help her father, a tailor, earn and save enough money to send back to Europe so her mother, sister and two brothers would be able to come to America. I visited Czechie in 1985 and found a Frantisek Podzimek Living at STRUZINEC 5,OKRES TABOR,POSTA JISTEBNICE 39133. I was told that this farm was in the Podzimek family for over 600 years. I have not had any correspondence from them in the past 5 years. Since they were much older than I, I believe they may have passed away?? I also found relatives from my mothers side of the family. They also were much older than I, and I have lost contact with them. If we are related I would like to know more about my Czech roots, any information you could pass on to me would be greatly appreciated.

Dohnal, Sr., and Francis Otahal Dohnal was in Kolin County, near Prague.

We belive Karel was born Feb 11th 1906. He was a Captain in the Czech Army / Air Force, and he was the youngest of seven, having four Brothers and two sisters. Karel also served in the Royal Air Force as a Flight Lieutenant. We believe he died in 1956.
