Description

Request more information.

I have done much research, and know that members of my family, surnames:
“Motloch” (Anton, born 1851), “Vrana (Jan, born 11 Jun 1875, in Rasovice)”, “Kachlir” (Francis,
born 23 Mar 1880, in Koberice), and “Zrubek” (Thomas, born 10 Jan 1866), “Tobolka” (Albina born 10 Dec 1884) are all from The Czech Republic, and, more specifically, from Moravia/Brno/Koberice.

My family emigrated in the mid to late 1800’s, and early 1900’s. Most, if
not all, disembarked in Galveston and New Orleans, USA. They settled in the
south-to-central Texas area, where I was born.

My paternal great grandfather was Josef Vrana. He emigrated to NYC late 1870’s/early 1880’s. He was married to Josefa Moravek, however, my grandfather always referred to her as Caroline. I am still exploring pathways to find where in Bohemia they were from.
