My husbands great grandparents were Frank J. Liska born abt 1849 in Bohemia [he immigrated about 1857 and applied for citizenship in Jan. 1863 in Washington county] and Anna Novy [ her father was Martin Novy and he applied for citizenship at the same time as Frank Liska]. Frank died in 1895 leaving Anna with four children. My problem is the parents of Frank. I thought that his father was John Liska who is listed on the 1860, 1870 and 1880 census for Jackson, Washington county, Iowa; but there is no Frank living with them and I can not find Frank until the 1880 census when he is living next door to John and some of his children. All of these families are listed on the census as being from Bohemia. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Joyce Grant Fesler in San Antonio, TX [my husband is Edwin Neil Fesler from Marengo, Iowa]
