Have a look at THIS DOCUMENT and check whether you count among the side of the Johanek family I’ve charted. Then you can trace the degree of kinship you are related to (???) me or someone else of our family. I still miss further particulars about a life of the undermentioned persons. I hope that in this way I’ll succeed in making contact with somebody who’ll be able to send me any report, no matter how comprehensive it may be. Perhaps the relative him/herself will contact me? :-)

6. Anna (ANN) Johanek (*5th February 1880)

 - her life is unknown for me

 

 

    I suppose that Anna didn’t leave “blindly” for the USA, his brother-in-law emigrated with his wife to the USA in 60’s in the 19th century. It was Jakub (Jacob) Johanek (1839-1922) - brother of Jan Johanek, and Marie Hrdinova (*?1839-1913).  Progeny of this one of my relatives you can find on THIS WEBSITE, created by my distant cousin Sean McGinnis (*1965), a descendant of Jakub Johanek.

 

 

On this website I’ve found an advert (in English) asking about these of my relatives. I tried to reply to the advertisement but my words didn’t hit home, I haven’t got any answer.

    Here I publish the advert unabridged, in case that the address of it’s location wouldn’t work.

    The name “Anna Radil” it’s only a garbled version of the original name “Anna Radej” (Radejova in Czech).

 

the advertisement:

 

    Researching: JOHANEK, RADIL, PAZDERKA, PASDERKA, JAROLIM, LISA, LISKA, FILIP, MARCAL, ZAJIC, MIRASKY, MIRATSKY
    I am looking for information on the families of Wenceslaus and Anna (Radil) Johanek, and Vaclav and Aloisie (Jarolim) Pazderka. Both families settled in Omaha Nebraska in the 1880s. Wenceslaus and Anna had six children: John (Ludmila Marcal), Peter (Marie Lisa), Katrina (Vaclav Filip), Martin (Anna Zajic), George (Mary Theresa), and Anna. Vaclav and Aloisie had eight children: Frank (Mary Filip), Mary (John Mirasky), James (Frances Johanek), Anna, Joseph, Anton, Charles, Rose (Peter Johanek).
