Hi, Is there anyone on the list working on these names in Nebraska? I've found Kratky's in Saunders CO, and Omaha. But am unable to make a connection at this point in time. Kratky, John Frank(Francis) - born June 1856 in Bohemia, immigrated 1862, naturalized name spellings seen (Kratty, Kratke, Kraty, Krathy, Krappy, Kraky, kratka,) Zimmerman, Mary Frances (Frances Mary) -- born abt Dec 1865 in Bohemia(Prague), immigrated 1885, Catholic. I have limited information on this lady. One census record (1900, Missouri, Kansas City, occupation blacksmith) reports that all five children from this couple were born in Missouri(1887-1896). However, subsequent 1910 states that older four children born in Nebraska.(1886-1892) Three boys report Omaha, Nebraska as birthplace on WWI draft registration, Social Security application with the birthdates varying each source.(1 year) Know that Charles Francis (Frank) Kratky, born 1888/1889 remained a Catholic, as did his mother "Fanny". Therefore, I am wondering where I might look for baptism/christening records in the Omaha area for immigrants from "Prague". There is a John Kratky listed in the 1889 & 1890 Omaha City Directory (occupation bartender), address 1413 Pacific & 720 S. 14th. If this is my John Kratky, I would assume that he resided in this neighborhood and his family possibly went to a church nearby. Thanks for any suggestions. I live in Portland, OR and have my sister in Kansas City do footwork. Charlene
