Posted on: Saline Co. Ne Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ne/Saline/10103 Surname: HLAVA, HLAWA, EBBESMEYER ------------------------- I am trying to find the family of my gr-grandmother, Ludmilla Hlawa (Hlava). She was born in 1857 in Bohemia, and died in Fort Madison, Iowa in 1920. She was married to Joseph Ebbesmeyer in Fort Madison, and her obituary stated that she had a sister in Nebraska and two brothers not heard of for years. I found a marriage record for Mary Hlava and Jacob Pivonka on the IGI. They were married in Saline co. NE in 1888. Can anyone tell me if this Mary is the sister of Ludmilla (always called Tillie)? Are there any Hlava descendants in NE who can help me find this family? Thank you. Hoping to hear from someone. Carol Doering Holterhaus
