Anyone recognize this name "Mikula" and/or know where > it originates from? Thank you. Gloria: It is difficult to assist you if we don't know where you have been and what you have already done! Recognizing the name means nothing. As someone has already said, they have a tendency to move around and change with the country. If you have already done: census records, marriage records, children's birth/baptism records, land records, draft list, death records, passenger lists, etc., they you can say you have hit a brickwall.
