I am told by an older cousin that the Lastovka family came to US from Bohemia-Austria in about 1872-73. They were detained in Pittsburg,Pennsylvania for a while, and a group of them migrated to Arkansas in 1873. Among those were John Lastovka born May 6, 1852. He married Anna Novy in 1882 in Yell Co., Arkansas. Anna's father was Jakob Novy. I have a passport for him and his family to come to America in 1877. I do know there are family members that live in Cleveland, Ohio. If this is familiar to anyone, I would love to hear from you. Donna Tyer

My grandmother's sister, Rose Lusk, married John Lastovka in November 1940 in Cleveland. He was a friend of her first husband, William Czerr, who died in April of 1940. John Lastovka was born 15 April 1885 and died 2 Feb 1981. Rose and John had no children. I do not know if he had a previous marriage. I am going to forward your query to a distant cousin of mine (if her e-mail address is still good) to see if she has any other information or, perhaps, a photo. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 01:06:18 -0400 Subject: [CZ] Lastovka This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
