Researching: HODEK, SKRIVAN
My great-grandparents were Frank W. Hodek and Treasa Skrivan. I have no idea when they immigrated to the US, but know they had 4 children while in Baltimore, MD: Theresa, Frank, Albina and Aida. Frank W. Jr. was my grandfather. He served in the first WW and moved to Omaha, as did Theresa, Albina and Aida. Subsequently, he, his wife (Lucile Marie Dressel) and his two children, Lucille Albina (my mother) and Henrietta Therese, moved to Hollywood with his sister, Aida. My great-grandfather divorced Treasa Skrivan in the mid-1920's and went back to Czechoslovakia, but I have no idea of the city or village. He died there. My grandfather, Frank W. Hodek, Jr. was the musical conductor of the Aksarben in Omaha; and then the NBC orchestra in Hollywood. He died in the early 1950's. He was born 7/19/1894 or 1895, married Lucile Dressel in Chicago, Illinois on 12/21/17. I would appreciate any information on either the Skrivan or Hodek families.

I am interested in finding relatives of my father, Paul Marhoul, who was born in 1911 in Mnisek Podbrdy, Czechoslavakia. I do know that his father was Jan Marhoul, born about 1862, somewhere in Czechoslavakia, married to Josephine Urbanek in 1890. I am trying to trace the family history prior to Jan Marhoul. I do know that any person in the U.S. with the surname Marhoul is related and there are very few of them. Due to the age of my father, he does not remember much of the family history prior to his coming to the U.S. in 1925. Thank you to anyone who can help.

Searching for information on Joseph Holub and wife Theresia and family, who came to Wisconsin after 1855, probably from the area of Olesna (Wolesna), Liblin Parish, Rokycany County, Bohemia. Joseph, b. abt. 1823, and Theresia, b. abt. 1825, lived in Kewaunee/Manitowoc Cos., Wisconsin, in mid- to late-1800's. They were buried at St. Mary's Cem., Tisch Mills, Manitowoc or Kewaunee Co., Wisconsin. Their children were: John, b. abt. 1848, in Bohemia (had wife, Catherine, b. abt. 1852 in Bohemia), and reportedly Mrs. Mathieson, Mrs. Karmazien, Mrs. Padour (Paider), and probably others. All the named children seemingly lived in Kewaunee/Manitowoc Cos., Wisconsin. Joseph was brother to Josefa, b. 1813, who married Martin Holub, b. 1813. Joseph was also brother to Adalbert (aka Wojtech, Vojtech, Albert), b. 1810, who married Maria Trejbal (Trejbalova) and then married Katerina Hirner (Hirnerova- some documents erroneously show "Hubner"). I would like to learn the date of immigration of Joseph, Theresia and family, vessel name, and American port of entry.

The above surnames are the result of the genealogical research to date on my surname, Skarka. Many thanks to the fine professional researcher, Hana Skockova of Prague, for the excellent work she has done for me. I am posting this to try to make connections to anyone who may have information on any of these surnames and will gladly share what I have. In summary, here is what I have: my Great Grandfather was Frantisek Josef Skarka, b. 2/25/1878, in Hrabesin 33, Bohemia. He died in Queens, NY on 2/18/1918. I have been unsuccessful in learning his exact immigration date so far. The 1900 Census says he arrived in 1885. But I have found no record of that yet. He married Frantiska Lebina, b. 9/03/1878, supposedly in Prague, and died in Center Moriches, NY 9/04/1968. I have found out absolutely zero on her family. I am not sure if that is the correct surname. Frantisek's father was Jan Skarka, b. 1853, d. 1882, Hrabesin 33. His mother was Marie Talackova of Pabenice 7, daughter of Frantisek Talacko and Marie Kabelacova. Jan and Marie had seven sons and three daughters. I only have the names of two other sons besides my g-grandfather: Jan, b. 1882, d. 1920, Hrabesin; Josef, b. 1885. Jan's parents were Vaclav Skarka, b. 1824, d. 1882, in Hrabesin, and Anna Lumpova, b. 1826, d. 1907, in Hrabesin. Anna was the daughter of Josef Lump, b. 1802, Olsany, Bohemia, and Barbora Moravcova, b. 1799, d. 1859, Hrabesin. Josef Lump's parents were Jakub Lump and Barbora Zivna of Olsany (Barbora was the daughter of Vaclav Zivny). Barbora Moravcova was the daughter of Frantisek Moravec of Hrabesin and Anna Kratochvilova of Trebonin (Anna was the daughter of Bernard Kratochvil). Vaclav Skarka and Anna Lumpova had 11 children born between 1846 and 1868. Vaclav's parents were Josef Skarka, b. 1802, Cerniny, d. 1864, Hrabesin, and Anna Cernovska of Bahno 15. Anna's parents were Jan Cernovsky, b. 1765 and Anna Trnkova of Brezova. Jan Cernovsky was the son of Jiri Cernovsky and Anna (?). Josef Skarka and Anna Cernovska had 11 children between 1823 and 1847. Josef's parents were Jan Skarka, b. 1774, Cerniny 23, d. 1821, and Katerina Snetiva, b. 1764, d. 1844, Cerniny. Katerina was the daughter of Jan Snetivy, Innkeeper, Bohdanec, Cerniny and Anna (?). Jan and Katerina had 4 children between 1797 and 1802. Jan's parents were Jan Skarka, b. 1738, Brezova, d. 1818, Cerniny, and Barbora Zrounkova, b. 1742, d. 1822, of Cerniny. Barbora was the daughter of Vaclav Zrounek, Innkeeper, Cerniny, and Ludmila Vanesova. Jan and Barbora had 13 children. All but 2 died as infants. Two sons died on the same day in March 1771 during the time of a catastrophic famine when 1/10th of the inhabitants died. Jan's parents were Jan Skarka, b. 1716, Vidice, d. 1770, Brezova, and Dorota (?). they had two children, Jan and Anna, b. 1747. Jan's (b. 1716) parents were Jindrich Karel Skarka, b. 1686, Vidice, and Anna Pernickova. They had 3 children, Vaclav, Katerina and Jan. Anna Pernickova was the daughter of Petr Pernicek of Vidice. Karel's (used that name) parents were Jan Skarka, b. 1658, Bykan, and Anna Chvaltinova of Chlistovice. They had 3 children, Martin, Karel and Jan. Jan (b. 1658) was the son of Jan Skarka, b. abt. 1635, Bykan and Zuzana (?). They had two children, Jan and Katerina (b. 1663). This Jan was one of only 3 Skarkas mentioned on The Roll of Assessment, ordered by the Austrian Hapsburgs after the 30 years war, which basically inventoried the remaining families after the devastation of the Czech countries. Only 800,000 inhabitants survived of 3 million on the Czech Kingdom.

Researching: BERKA, MAGANJA, MAGEN, KARNISH, MORGAN, MARKOVICH
Am searching for the ancestors and relatives of my grandmother Anna Marie Morgan. Morgan was the name given her and her brother John in the orphanage in Helena, Montana. Anna's parents were identified through baptism and marriage records found in Nebraska. John Maganja, son of Joseph Maganja of Bohemia married Anna Berka, daughter of Mary Karnish and James Berka of Bohemia. They married in Omaha in 1890. They had three children in Omaha, Anna, John, and a deceased baby girl. My grandmother remembers visits by an uncle who worked for the railroad. Her father was a smelter worker who moved the family to Anaconda, Montana around 1895. His father and brother, Joseph, moved to southern Colorado at that time according to church records in Omaha. Anna died giving birth either in Omaha or Anaconda. My grandmother thinks she had a baby brother who was adopted. The sister of Anna Berka Maganja, Mary Berka, followed Anna to America but never found her. Mary did find her children, Anna & John before she died. Mary married Joseph Markovich in Anaconda, Montana and lived in Butte most of her life. Is anyone looking for these two sisters? I would like to connect with any ancestors of Berka, Karnish, or Maganja.
