To Joseph Szikora, I hardly ever see the name Szikora listed. My mother's aunt married Lawrence Seykora. They lived in NYC. I have been helping them research their name which is spelled Seykora. I'm guessing it is a spelling variant of your name. I don't have all my papers in front of me -- but Larry's father was born in NYC. His grandfather was born somewhere in Bohemia but we don't know where. Do you know where your family and name originated. I'd be happy to share what information I have gathered. The grandfather born in Bohemia married Rose. They arrived in NYC separately; she arrived with a baby, Rose. Baby Rose died in NYC but I believe she had 12 siblings including three sets of twin siblings. As I said, I would share any information I have collected. Looking forward to hearing from you.
