I don't think so. There are German-Bohemians, my father was not one, he was a Czech though most of them (not all) in his time period called themselves Bohemians <grin>. However, his family were subjects of the Emperor, perhaps your grandfather also was when he migrated. Did anyone here notice the quote I sent through yesterday? "... I learned of the Bohemian Flats. I began to realize how many Czechs and Slovaks and Bohemians were connected to this area." Did you notice how she separates the people, and omits the Moravians? Did all the Moravians stay in Texas and settle there and none come north to Chicago or move west?

Did you all notice the reference in the Chicago Tribune article? "CHICAGO -- On Thursday--about 73 years after the death of Anton Cermak--the former Chicago mayor's native Czech Republic (then called Bohemia) opened a consulate general in his beloved city at 205 N. Michigan Ave." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chicago/chi-0604230240apr23,1,165488.story Elaine > I don't think so.

That is what I had read somewhere as well! Czech Republic WAS Bohemia before the name of Czech Republic, (and before the Czech Republic, was Czechoslovakia) I had never had a doubt that there was a Bohemia. I'm not sure why some don't think there was a Bohemia ETM wrote: >Did you all notice the reference in the Chicago >Tribune article? > >"CHICAGO -- On Thursday--about 73 years after the >death of Anton Cermak--the former Chicago mayor's >native Czech Republic (then called Bohemia) opened >a consulate general in his beloved city at 205 N. >Michigan Ave." > >http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chicago/chi-0604230240apr23,1,165488.story > >Elaine > > > > >>I don't think so.
