I am looking for family information on my great-grandfather, Anton Hamouz. Anton was born in 1841 in Bohemia, and he married Katherina Loskot on February 8, 1874 in Bohemia. Katherina was born on November 25, 1857 in Prerubenice. Anton came to the United States in 1886 or 1887. Katherina later joined him with son, Adolph, in 1889. I am looking for the names of Anton's parents and names of any siblings he might have had. I would appreciate any information about my great-grandfather. Sandra Miller

This is a forwarded message From: Melissa McLimans <[email protected]> To: "Melissa McLimans" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, May 2, 2006, 5:15:41 PM Subject: {not a subscriber} Marriages Added to Vital Records Index We at the Wisconsin Historical Society are so excited to announce the addition of marriage records to the Wisconsin Pre-1907 Vital Records Index located at www.wisconsinhistory.org/vitalrecords. That's right; marriages can now be searched along with birth and death records. Plus, we have added counties previously unavailable in other online databases and the 1970s microfiche index. Now, you can look for marriages in counties Richland through Winnebago at the same time you search for marriages from the rest of the state. Marriages, dating between 1836 and September 30, 1907, are indexed by both the bride and groom names, wherever possible. Therefore, in most cases, there will be two entries for one marriage; one for the bride and one for the groom. There are some counties that were not indexed by bride's name, but our excellent volunteers are working to correct that as well. The new marriage index, like its companions, began as a 1970s microfiche publication. The Schoenleber Foundation of Milwaukee generously provided funds to convert them to electronic form, so now genealogists have free public access to information on more than a half a million marriages, 400,000 Wisconsin deaths, as well as more than 1 million births. Happy searching and let us know how everything works. There are bound to be some errors, but now that the index is in the digital age, fixing index problems is quite simple (unfortunately, fixing errors on the original records is still impossible!). Best wishes, Melissa McLimans Manager, Wisconsin Genealogical Research Service Wisconsin Historical Society

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lRC.2ACE/3508.1 Message Board Post: Paula, <"On the address the were a line drawn above the c and the a. I have know any idea what this means."> If you mean above the c and a in Becvar, then those would be handwriting shortcuts for the hacek-c and long-a, resp., which indicates that the name is pronounced "BETCH-VA-AR." The accent is always on 1st syllable in Czech, but the litttle "accent mark" is not really an accent mark in Czech-- it as a "long vowel mark." Long vowel means long in time, not long in quality, so you drawl it out -- analogous to "blackbird" -- we don't say "BLACK-b'd;" or HO-lo-CAUST -- we don't say HO-la-cust. This is why Bob Vila is such a stickler about correcting people on the pronunciation of his name as "Bob VEE-laaaah." It's a Czech name with a long vowel mark on the a.

But you completely failed to mention what the connection of these people to the Czech Republic is. You mention only Nebraska and Texas over in the United States. I don't think anybody here on the Czech Republic message board will be able to help you until you do explain just what Leroy and Earl Katz's connection to the Czech Republic was. Robert

I went to the County courthouse in St. Clairsville and found some vital records, also the library across the street and looked at films of the old newspapers. You might try writing to them and also to the health department which is in St. Clairsville also. I can't remember anything about a tornado, but there was some major flooding in one area of Belmont Co. about 2000, maybe that came on due to a tornado. Thanks for your reply, as I said, I am just thrilled to hear from someone searching in Belmont Co. Betty
