As I mentioned I had been there many times in years past and I did a lot of newspaper research at the library, but at the time I was not looking into these families in particular. Was more interested in finding what my grandparents family was up to!! My grandparents had a tavern in White City many, many years ago. They were Joseph and Albina "Ella" Pechar, grandma being his first wife. Their children were my mother, Mildred, and my uncle Jim. All this family now deceased. The families I would like to find more about are: DITTMEYER, a definite connection--the mother of the two who emigrated (Stanley and Josephine) was a half-sister to grandpa Joe; JOSEPH BRABEC--the one who lived 100 years and seemed to outlive everyone else--worked for grandpa when he first came to White City. The mother to the Dittmayers' father was a Brabec, so I am trying to find if there was a connection. I need a copy of his obituary--the one that was sent to me was cut off at the bottom so I am missing some information. The other is the KRATOCHVIL family. In my Pechar line I have a great grandmother who was a Kratochvil so am trying to find more about that family who emigrated, Frank and Anna. I would like copies of their obituaries and would like to learn where is the best place to try for death certicates. Thank you for any help you can give, Betty
