I have many KOBERNA records leading back to the Krtely and Vodnany area of southern Bohemia. I am interested in finding information about my grandfather JOHN KOBERNA who arrived in Cleveland 1890 age 18 from Krtely. He came here with his brother Franz age 20. There were several other brothers Joseph, Jacob and Charles and sisters Anna and Marie who arrived before and after 1890. I have bits and pieces of family history on these and other KOBERNAS. Many of my records are like swiss cheese good, but full of holes. I am 81 years young. There are no green bananas at our house. Please don`t let these records die with me. Get in touch at once. I am willing to share what I have. Thanks, Franklin J.
