I m not sure where you are located. There are Chmelars in Iowa, Texas,. Pennsyvania and Oregon. I am not sure if any of us are really related or not. The name Chmelar means "hops grower" nd there is a providence or township as well as a lake by the Name of Chmelar in modern day Solvakia. I understand that there is also a castle that is being restored and use for a Renassiance kind of setting.
The only Chmelar I am sur of in Texas is my nephew Anthony who recently moved there. I have had some corrspondence with the Iowa Chmelar who grow Christmas trees. The Oregon connect may or may not have actually been my Grandfather's twun brother but I could never find enough info to make a diference.
If you want to know more and or would like a copy of the family as I know it at this stage e-mail me at
