Any connections please e-mail me directly. My grandfather Stephan HOPEJ b. 15 March 1882 in Czechlosvakia s/o Jasko or Jasco HOPEJ and Nasta BEIRDIC or BOUDAC. He came to America in 1901 and 1905 and in Chicago, Cook Co. Illinois married Mary Verona SZABOL>SABOL in 1909 who was born in Tulcik, Saro Megye, Czechlosvakia. They had 5 children. I would very much get in touch with my grandfathers, brothers, cousins, etc. Please.
