My grandmother, Josefa Matschl, was born October 7, 1886 in Pleschen Bohemia (Czech Malonin). Malonin was destoyed by the Communist in the 1950's. It is near the village of Frauenthal, now Frantoly. I have traced my family back to the early 1700's by using a Czech researcher. Since my family was German, any family members who did not emmigrate were relocated to Germany after WWII. My grandmother emigrated from Bremen to Galveston, Texas in 1905. She settled in a small town, Moulton, Texas. Evidently Moulton was the destination of many Bohemian families. I am interested in exchanging information about the following villages and individuals. I have located these individuals in the archive and would like to know if others are related to these families. Alois Matschl born 30 Mar 1885, in Pleschen, probably relocated to Germany. Katerina ALBRECHT born 16 september 1845, born in Frauenthal (Frantoly) Maria FIDLER born About 1820 in Schlag (Lazistka) Elisabeth MOTTL born early 1800's in Zodl (Sadlno) Maria HUNDSNUSHER born abt 1740's in Pleschen (Malonin) Barbara KURZ born early 1800's in Frauenthal (Frantoly) I am also interested in information about these small villages. When were they founded, by whom, how many people, etc. I am trying to locate information about Alois Matschl, (my grandmother's brother) when married, names of children etc. This was not in the archives since it is less than 100 years old. I know this is a lot of information. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Mary Scott **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.
