In a previous article, ipoehls@wgn.net ("Irvin F. Poehls") says: > >I note that many Czech surnames, such as Cizek, end in -ek. Is there a >meaning or significance to the suffix, -ek? > As a final syllable it is not all that significant. It is a common termination of nouns in general, not just with surnames. Often it occurs with nouns denoting persons, human beings, but that is just a vague generality. Note this however, that in surnames, -ek names are males only. When such surnames are appied to females, the "e" is dropped and ova' (long "a" with accent mark) is added. So... Cizek (male) Cizkova' (female) Capek (male) Capkova' (female) Marek (male) Markova' (female) etc. -- Gary N. Deckant bs039@yfn.ysu.edu Youngstown, Ohio

I note that many Czech surnames, such as Cizek, end in -ek. Is there a meaning or significance to the suffix, -ek? Irv Poehls ipoehls@wgn.net

Thanks Emil G. > Bobik, Sr. I remember a Mr. Bobik around the corner from my grandmother in Trenton NJ. The big story on him was that he went to fight in WW II leaving a pregnant wife behind. She had the baby, but Mr. Bobik didn't see him until he was 4 or 5 because he was away fighting in the war. When he finally came home...the boy, his son was afraid of him. Fortunately everything worked out fine. He was a very nice man,and they were a nice family. I'll have to ask my mother his first name. Susan Lynch

Hello to all, Slave Isusu Hristu; I'm interested in finding as many of my relations as possible. I have done pretty well from my Gr-grandfather, John Bobik 1st and his wife Zuzana Jergetchic. Both born in early 1840's. Their children were, Mary, Anna, John 2nd, Michael and an Andy. John the 1st had a brother who married a woman with the last name of Binyo. I have no information on that part of the family or if they had any other brothers or sisters. Mary above married into the Koleszar family line. Anna married into the Repas line. John 2nd married a Filo. His son John 3rd married a Girman and settled in NJ. Michael married ? and had two sons who became priest and stayed in Slovakia area. Andy may have been Julius and settled outside of Pittsburgh, PA. I have been gathering info on the above but not much on Andy/Julius Bobik. Need some tie upp with my Gr-Uncle's side of the family. Thanks Emil G. Bobik, Sr.

Is anyone searching this area? Need help finding records. Thanks! Carol K.

Several cousins and myself are researching our mutual families who immigrated from these towns in Rokycany County, Bohemia. Anyone else researching people from these towns? Since we have quite a few names from this area, we decided to see if we can join with other people researching in the same area and see if we can all help each other. I have seen this work for people on other lists I have been on and am hoping it will also work for us. Annie

Dear Group I wanted to take a moment and extend a heartfelt thanks to all who have written me about my search for my Grandfather Chuderski. It really makes an old cynic like me feel good that people like those found in this news group still exist. THANK ALL OF YOU VERY MUCH. Tom Chuderski

My great grandparents came from DAVIDOV, CZECHOSLOVAKIA sometime before the turn of the century. JOHN PACHUTA b. 1870 in DAVIDOV, CZECHOSLOVAKIA d. 1942 in TRENTON, NJ Byzantine Catholic...helped start St. Mary's Of the Assumption Byzantine Catholic Church in Trenton NJ...believed to have come through Ellis Island (a window in the church was donated by the villagers of TREBISOV...does that ring any bells or mean anything?) MARY FEYKO (married John Pachuta) b. 1870 in DAVIDOV, Czechoslovakia d. September 22, 1952 in TRENTON NJ any one come across any of these names? Susan Lynch
