Surnames: Hobza and Janak Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/lRC.2ACE/2705.2 Message Board Post: Jimi, I found your posting on the Ancestry message board and thought I would share with you some information I have regarding the Hobza family. My name is Joe Myers. Julianna Janak Palme was my great grandmother. Her mother was Christina Hobza who married Johann Janak. Christina was the sister of Albina Hobza. The Janak family and Hobza family both came over to America on the ship Belgenland that arrived in New York on May 31, 1883 (see the ships passenger list at the following link). http://www.immigrantships.net/v3/1800v3/belgenland18830531_1.html On this list, the Hobza's are listed as "Holza" probably due to a transcriber's error. The Janak family settled in New Bedford, Massachusetts which was also the first destination of the Hobzas. Note that the destination on the ships passenger list is Bedford instead of New Bedford. A family story has it that due to this error, the Janak family (and possibly the Hobzas) ended up traveling to Bedford, Pa first by mistake instead of New Bedford, and then had to take another journey to get to New Bedford. I have the baptism papers of Julianna Janak that list her maternal grandparents as Thomas Hobza and Franziska Krtek Hobza of Konigsreut, Budweis and Neuhaus district, Kingdom of Bohemia. I hope that you find this helpful and interesting. There may be some other material I have that may help you in your research. I am interested in any other information you might have about Albina and Edward. also. Best Regards, Joe Myers

The website is: http://www.chodskalhota.cz/ (Czech language only). But I believe the "Chodska" where your ancestors came from has a different meaning. It is neither a town nor a village - it is a whole region called Chodsko. This region is situated in southern Bohemia, near the border with Germany. You can read more interesting information for example at: http://www.czecot.com/en/?id_region=60 (in English)

I am having problems with the surname "Tomrdle". I don't know if this is a correct name or not. My descendant, Jerome Tomrdle was born on 15 June 1899 in West Point, NE. The only time I have found the family is on the 1920 and 1930 census. Is this a Czech name from the area of Bohemia? I am new to this research, so would appreciate any help. Barbara Fazzolari

There appears to be a considerable amount of confusion about Czech History and Czech Geography. The CZECH Mail List (This List) has a web site set up specifically to answer many of these questions in considerable detail: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Eelainetmaddox/czhistory.htm For "starters", I suggest Radio Prague's History Online Virtual Exhibit! How it all began: http://archiv.radio.cz/history/history02.html For the simplest of answers, prior to WWI there were three Crown Lands of the Austrian Monarchy; ie, Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. Also prior to WWI there was a part of Hungary Monarchy called Slovakia. Much of these lands were at one time (in the 8th and/or 9th century) a part of the older Greater Moravian Empire (see above). After WWI and the defeat of the Hungarian and Austrian Empire, the Areas of Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, and Slovakia were combined into the country which we all knew as Czechoslovakia. After the Velvet Revolution, the Czechs and Slovaks decided to part ways and the country of the Czech Republic (comprised of Bohemia and Moravia and parts of Silesia) and the Slovak Republic (from old Slovakia) were created. Bohemia has existed for hundreds of years (just like Moravia) and it still exists today! Anything associated with the geography of Bohemia is rightfully called "Bohemian" in English. Thus we have a place called the "Bohemian" Paradise; aka, Cesky raj. There are thousands of similar descriptions.

Hi Judi, I too had my doubts about mailing to CZ. I had questioned Ron on this site and he told me he never had a problem, but to make sure they can open up the package..I mailed a sweatshirt and baseball cap. I put it in a large padded envelope,did not use the closure on the envelope,I taped it closed,and wrote on the back of the envelope to just slit the tape for inspection. The advise about the boat is true, my daughter ships to poland all the time, and uses a boat.The mail and packages were not getting to the family the mail way..Libby
