This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Kovacik, Struhar, Podkamensky, Paar Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JGB.2ACI/644 Message Board Post: Trying to research any infor. on my paternal grandparents from Czechoslovakia. Both immigrated into the USA at different times. Stefan Kovacik was born in 1884 in Roberna, Czech. (Is that a town or region?) Perhaps clerk copied it wrong and it is really Brno. Naturalization papers indicate he came into New York harbor on the Kaisirin Augusta Victoria in 1908. Francisa Struhar, daughter of Joseph Struhar and Anna Podkamensky, is said to have had a half sister named Ann Paar. (I am also looking for infor. on the Struhar or Podkamensky ancestry in the country of Czechoslovakia.) Both Stefan and Francisa married in America and settled in the Racine/Sturtevant Wisconsin area. Please send any information to Karen Kovacik-Palmer at palmer55@wwt.net
