Researching: MACHACEK, KACINA, WAGNER
I seek data about the Machacek family's origins in Bohemia or Moravia. My great-grandfather was named Jan (pronounced "Yon") "John" Machacek, born somewhere in Bohemia, I think (about 50 miles east of Prague?) around the year 1840. He emigrated to the United States with his wife Frantiska ("Frances") [Kacina] Machacek and their daughter Antonia in the late 1800s, settling near Tabor, South Dakota around 1880-1890. He died in 1935 (age 95) and is buried in the Tabor, SD, cemetery at St. Wenceslaus Church. Their only daughter, Antonia (Antonie) Machacek married my grandfather, Anton Wagner (that's right--Anton and Antonia) in 1892. That makes me 1/2 Bohemian Czech.

If so, it's very important for me to get these information. Thank you very much for any answer.
