Researching: GASCHLER, TANZER, FRIEDL
I have traced my family back to Winterberg, Austria (now Vimperk, Czech
Republic) to Engelbert Gaschler (1836) his father was Johann Gaschler
married to Karoline Tanzer of Oberfrauenau, Bavaria. I can not find birth
or marriage documents for Johann . this is where I have hit a brick wall.
Engelbert married Franziska Friedl in Lambach, Bavaria in 1860 and had my
Great Grand Father, Wilhelm Gaschler 1867. Wilhelm came to the US in 1891
as did at least two of his brothers, Engelbert and Alois. They settled in
Cumberland MD. Any tips on how to research Czech Archives for Johann Gaschler?

Researching: CIHLAR, CYHLAR
Cihlar - 1720-1860 - Mnich or Boretin, Bohemia.
Seek ancestors and or contemporaries of Matous Cihlar (Cyhlar) who
lived in Mnich of Boretin, Bohemia, during the 18th Century. Matous
emigrated to Chicago in 1861. I know nothing of these towns. What was the population then and what is
it today? What was/is the economic basis for the area? Any outstanding
geographic features? Genealogy research has helped me to identify ancestors,
but I'd like to put some flesh on the bones. Matthew was a master tailor
in his new Chicago, IL, home. What value was there to such service in 1850
Mnich? He had eight children. Was such a large family common in a village?

He was born 11/11/1858 in Vostravici and married Aneska Kalus of the
same village. They came to America, with their first son John, from
Frydek Mystek to central Texas through Galveston in 1889. We know
nothing of Martin, even if he had brothers or sisters left in Czech. We
know very little about Aneska's family. She spoke of a sister who was
blind and a brother who was killed in the army. Sherek is not a common
name, so any information you may have will be appreciated.

I am looking for information on the name "Tepera". Josef Tepera was
born in Bilany near Kromeriz in Czech. He came to America twice, once
in the late 1800's and again with his family in 1900. He immigrated to
central Texas through Galveston. There is an "Anna Tepera" buried at
Svaty Hostyn but we are unable to get any information on her. She was
born 1874 and died 1933. As far as I know, all the "Tepera's" in the
USA can be traced back to Josef Tepera. Maybe there was a spelling
change at immigration? There are very few "Tepera's" in the Czech
Republic and we are unable to make a direct connection the their family
line. The Tepera's in Prague think the name may have a "Finnish"
origin. Does anyone know anything about this name? Or have any thoughts?

Researching: MUSULIN
I'm looking for the Musulin family. The latest I can go back is around 1910
when "Bob" Musulin came to America. His given name is "Bloosh" (sic). His
wifes name was Nora. They had three sons that lived in California.
I know that's no help, but I hope it's a start.
