My g-grandmother was Margaret Pankratz from Staab (now called Stod) Bohemia Czeckoslavkia. Her parents and 4 sisters immigrated in 1863. There were also Karl's who came to New Zealand an pioneered a wee country town called Puhoi in North Auckland, New Zealand. My family is also related to the Karl's. In September of this year my husband and I are going to Prague and hope to trace some family. I wonder if we are related. Do you know anything about the Bohemian side. Love to hear from you Val Botica valbotica@xtra.co.nz
