Eli's father, Jacob BECKNER, is in the 1910 Butler Co. census and he is buried in David City cemetery along with Savanna. Any information would be most helpful, especially on the Asquith surname.

The Butler Co. NEGenWeb site has 70 individual web pages and may be overly complex. If you think about these things, maybe you could advise me on some example problems. Other comments are welcome also. 1. When you visit a county genealogy web site, would you prefer (A) "TOWNS" or "COMMUNITIES" and then a reference related to the town. (B) "REFERENCE" (like the 1890 Gazetteer) and then the town. 2. On a cemetery page, with tombstone photos, would you prefer (A) name list first. (B) photos first. 3. When you visit a county genealogy web site, what are the first three (3) things you look for or use? 1. ________________ 2. ________________ 3. ________________ Other __________________ Thanks, Emmett Mason (Masontree@aol.com) http://www.rootsweb.com/~nebutler

Posted on: Butler Co. Ne Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ne/Butler?read=322 Surname: Dvorak, Semin ------------------------- Hi, I am looking for information on Nathan "Nick" Dvorak who lived in Rising City, Butler County, NE in 1893-1909. If any moving took place it was within Butler County. I am the grand daughter of Nick's son, Louis B. Dvorak, born in Rising City, Butler County, June 30, 1894. I want to find Nathan's parents and siblings and where in Austria he came from. I have been told through the family that his father's name was Thomas. Whatever you can tell me about this family would be greatly appreciate. Charlene Swan Kes6135@aol.com

Hi, Where would I go to find land records for Nathan Dvorak or Josef Semin in Butler County? I don't know if Nathan owned the farm that his family lived on or if the property belonged to his wife's Louisa's family. We are talking around 1890 plus. Thank you again for all your help. Charlene Swan Kes6135@aol.com

It's me again. I have from family sources the name of Thomas Dvorak as the father of Nathan Dvorak who married Louisa Semin [1892] the daughter of Jozef and Mary (Kaderabek)Semin. Would someone with access to 1880 and 1890 census records look for the two families in Butler County, NE? 1) Thomas Dvorak (wife unknown) 2)Jozef and Mary (Kaderabek) Semin

Hello again, Does anyone have a centennial book for Rising City, Butler Co. Nebraska? I have one for Braninard, NE from 1878 to 1978. Nathan or Nick Dvorak was mentioned as the father of Louis B. Dvorak a rural mail carrier and later a railway mail carrier. Nathan Dvorak and Louisa Semin were the parents of 8 children between March 1893 and August 1909. Louisa's brother Fred Semin is prominiently written up also with his son, Fred Semin in the Brainard centennial book. I was in hopes something would have been written about the residency of Nathan and Louisa Dvorak and their children in Rising City, NE. Also was there any mention of Louisa's father, Jozef Semin. Hope to hear from you soon. And I hope the centennial book exists. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Charlene Swan Kes6135@aol.com

Greeting List, I just had a thought the marriages of both Nathan Dvorak to Louisa Semin about 1892 and the marriage of his son, Louis B. Dvorak, to my grandmother, Anna Emma Hofbauer, might have been printed in a Czech/American newspaper. Louis Dvorak married Anna Hofbauer February 21, 1916 in Brainard, Butler Co, NE. Does anyone have access to Czech newspapers in these time frames that could check them out for me. I know a great deal about my grandmother's family but very little about my grandfather's family. Whatever help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Charlene Swan Kes6135@aol.com Cypress, CA
