Description

New member to CGSI looking for my relative, Wenzl Smarsh/Smerz/Smyrs that we traced back to what we think is Tisek in Bohemia born ~1811 and migrated to America via Hamburg ~1853.

I am trying to figure out where to start on this site as it seem a little confusing to me at the moment. Any suggestions?

Thank you.
Terry

Hi, Terry. Tisek is in my family as well. First off, welcome to CGSI! I hope you enjoy your membership. I’ve been here since 1989 and have made some great research connections! My ancestors at present do not include Smyrs, but the name sounds familiar. I’d be happy to share surnames to see if our families tie in any way. Also, I’m pretty comfortable checking the online records for Tisek. If you can provide me with as much information as you can about the family, I’d be happy to help you search those records. My primary ties to Tisek are the surnames Bejczek, Brozek, Duda, Herinek, Holejsovka, Lecek, Martinek, Novak, Staniek and Zeman. Any ties to your family?
