He is believed to be buried in a cemetery in Elysian. Thank you for any information you may have.

THAT would be my first guess! Sincerely, Tom David Man, are you pesimistic!! I do not know the reason why my ggrandparents left the catholic church, just that they did when they arrived in southern MN. And that there was a big bruhawhaw when my grandfather married catholic and returned to the church. No one in the family got pregnant!! Some were already married in Bohemia, the others had their kids a suitable 12 to 18 months after marriage. However, I doubt that that was a reason as if you will check the history of Bohemia, you will find many early babies because the couple had to get permission to marry, and the man had to prove he could provide for the family before they could.

Sad to say, my (since deceased) mother-in-law thought she was repeating true stories Her grandmother was also raised Catholic. But when they came to Minnesota, they were so poor, they couldn't afford the pew rent, so they joined the Lutheran church. (Probably more to that story too :o) MaryLu

My family have all pretended to be good Catholics, especially the women- they are all the Virgin Mary herself even. Yet about 40% of them were pregnant on the alter, one of them slept with some 1/4 black guy and passed it off as the guy's she was married (the sucker!), and the genes came down to me, another one, a doctor, even had two families going on at the same time! So, I just LOVE it when "Grandmas" starts telling their stories. Makes me want to puke! Sincerely, Tom David

It was a lady in Montgomery who translated the research when it was received. My husband's mother has been dead since 1981. But she enjoyed history, so she told me the stories that her grandmother told her. It wasn't until after Lynn's mother died, that I learned that none of the stories checked out. Lots of secrets!

But, funny that you have once again shown that the Slavs from the former eastern territories of the German Empire did everything they could to associate themselves with the Germans and disassociate themselves from the Slavs. Berlin! Too funny!

As I have seen the name somewhere before. Do your Bohemian ancestors have any connection to those who settled in New Ulm? Well, I just opened up my notebook to see how to spell my husband's ancestor's name and there is the envelope which I saved from"Trebon". (Where I too hired a researcher.) I have a Franz Kitlitschko, born on April 25, 1849. He told his grandchildren he was born in "Berlin", but the 1880 cenus states that both he and his parents were from Bohemia. (1885 MN census lists his place of birth as "Ostria".) He was "single" when he homestead, and on the June 1880 census, when he lived with Michael Huber of "Tyrol" (Bohemia?) here in Ottertail County. Franz was later joined at Bluffton, Minnesota by Franciska K. Peltz, who was born on September 16, 1848, "near Vienna". With her was Ed, born Mar. 1880, who was listed as his son. (It appears that she carried the child for about six years after Franz left Bohemia before she delivered :o) As Franz was Naturalized in Brown County, MN on May 16, 1874! Franciska's sisters married Mathias Fast and Jacob Motza (all Bohemian families) and lived at New Ulm. MaryLu

Hi List: I find myself in need of copies of the original records for a couple of my ancestors. First, I need the death record for my ggg-grandfather Jonathan Chadderdon d. 20 Jan 1884. Also, need the birth record for my grandfather Loren Lee Chadderdon b. 2 Nov 1898 at LeCenter. Would it be best to write to the local Clerk of Court or the state? Any help appreciated, Corinne Chadderdon

Sorry, I have no help for your line or Montgomery, but I'm still searching for my line. Anyone know CHARLES OTIS HALL, b.1883 or the SPLETT family. OTIS and BERTHA SPLETT, b. 1889, were my grandparents. Thank You, Judy

I encourage all of you to share your own stories of Montgomery's history at their next "show and tell" on 22 March 2006 at 206 First Street South in Montgomery, MN. While the historical society will not be working as a genealogy society, we would love to hear everyone's stories (and history) of the town. If you have any questions before the 22nd, please let me know. And regarding genealogy: I have members of the Holicky, Genelin, Preble, Edel in my family tree from the Montgomery area, and would love any information people have regarding those families (I have a ton on the Preble side, but not so much on the Holicky and Edel sides) Maianne Preble
