Researching: BENES, VOTROUBIK, HLAVFKA
Looking for any relatives of my great grandfather, Antonin Benes, baptised on 6-28-1859 in a chapel in Bucina. He was the son of Vacslav Benes (resident and small furrier of Vysoke-Myto) and his wife Katerina, who was the daughter of Jan Votroubik (small farmer from Bors #50). Antonin went on to marry Frantishka Hlavfka from Budejovice, Bohemia, and they immigrated sometime in early 1884. We believe they came to America via Galveston Tx, but cannot confirm this as there are not many records in Texas during this year. They went on to settle in Council Bluffs, Iowa and Omaha Nebraska area. I do not know if Antonin had any brothers or sisters, yet this area seemed to be a popular spot with Czech immigrants, so they must have known someone living there. Hearing from anyone with Benes surname would be intersting, even if we don't have a match with our ancestors.
