I found in your message the name TUPY. I´m looking for the brother of Johann TUPY, who was my grandfather or his descendants. He lived in Dwight, Nebraska after the 2nd World War.
If you know anything about TUPY in Dwight please let me know!

I am Edward J Shonka's granddaughter. My mother was Bertha Shonka Tlamka. She passed away 1/24/2003. I was 2 years old when Edward passed away. Are you a relative?

I have some info on the Shonka family. I am descended from Ed's brother Jerold-Joroslav or Jerry Shonka--him being my grandfather. I have some info on Sylvester--he was a Husker--and a pic of Frantisek and Anna. I would love to share info.

Edward J. Shonka was my great grandfather and I'm working on family geneology now. My Mom's cousin Erma Bartek did a great geneology booklet a few years ago and I actually used the info to arrange a visit with Shonka distant cousins in Bechenye Bohemia a few years ago. I'm glad to share any information. Tom Wilcox (son of Martha Marie Shonka, the daughter off Edward J. Shonka, Jr.) wilcox_thomas@hotmail.com
