I am trying to trace any living descendants of Thomas Capek, 1861-1950, Czech-American attorney, banker and historian of his people: (1) Capek s obituary in the New York Times (March 29, 1950, p. 29) states he is survived by his wife Anna, son Thomas Jr., and granddaughter Ludmila. (2) Anna Capek s obituary in the New York Times (August 11, 1956, p. 13) states she is survived by her sister Clara Winlow, son Thomas Jr., and granddaughter Ludmila. The obituary gives Clara s surname but not Ludmila s. Might that indicate that Ludmila was not married at the time? In Moje Amerika (Praha: Borovy, 1935), p. 103, Capek writes that Clara, having married Albert E. Winlow, an Englishman from Canada, devoted herself to journalism and writing. For the well-known children s series Our Little Cousins, she wrote a series of books (Our Little Bohemian Cousin, Our Little Serbian Cousin, [etc.]). In The Cechs (Bohemians) in America (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1920), p. 64, Capek identifies her as Dr. Clara V. Winlow, social worker, writer, Los Angeles, California. (3) Thomas Capek Jr. is last listed in the Martindale Hubbell Law Directory in 1960. The entry states he was born in 1895, graduated from Columbia University, and was admitted to the New York bar in 1924. He was not a member of any law firm but instead had his own office on Broadway. He is the author of Origins of the Czechoslovak State (New York: Revell Press, 1926). In Nase Amerika (V Praze, 1926), p. 331, Capek writes: Thomas Capek Jr. spent a year in Washington during the war as one of Masaryk s and, when Masaryk returned to the motherland as president, one of Pergler s assistants at the [Czechoslovak] legation. (4) I consulted the New York Times Obituaries Index, which we have to 1978, and all the annual New York Times Indexes since 1978 but found no obituary for Thomas Capek Jr. I will be most grateful for any help you may be able to provide.
