I have Tomans in my family tree - but have not been able to trace back with any certainty. I'd love to receive your newsletter if it is still published.

Ferdinand,

I now have the obituary of Anna Chyba Pochop published in an April 1935 issue of the Citizen Patriot (of Atwood, KS).

It contains this paragraph:
"In 1870 she was united in marriage to Geo. Pochop who preceded her in death in 1890. To this union nine children were born, two of them who died in infancy and George, next to the oldest son, who was serving as First Lieutenant in the Austrian-Hungarian army of the 6th Cavalry Regiment and in 1914, with his regiment, was called to war and laid down his life in the battlefield."

That gives a little more information the family had regarding a son "George" (Jiri). Perhaps your hypothesis is correct that Josef used his brother Jiri's identification to come to the US, since Jiri remained in the army.

Is there any way to verify that a Jiri Pochop, son of Jiri Pochop & Anna Chyba, was in that unit in the Austrian-Hungarian army?

Thank you for the information. It of course opens new questions:
1. Why is not his name given on the monuments of WWI victims in Loucky?
A.: Perhaps since no relatives were living in Loucky after 1918.
2. There were five types of cavalry in Austrian army (Kürassiere, Dragoner, Husaren, Ulanen, Chevauxlegers). Which type was his regiment?
A.: Most probably Dragoner: 6. Mährisches Dragoner-Regiment (Albrecht, Prinz von Preussen).
3. How could anybody (mis)use identity of Austrian officer?
A.: Family had to ask for birth certificates in parish office in Loucky prior to their emigration. Since it was quite a huge family, the priest was not able to allocate correctly sons of Anna Pochopova (i.e. their records in registers) and made such a mistake.

And now to your question: The respective archive is Central Military Archive in Praha (Vojenský ústřední archiv, Sokolovská 136, 186 00 Praha 8-Karlín). There is collection “Vojenské kmenové listy“ (Military qualification cards) that contains data of both officers and soldiers from years 1750-1910. The employees of the archive are willing to answer e-mail question but it is necessary to know the year of birth. Please try to assess this year and I will ask the archive. But don’t be too optimistic: the years 1865 to 1879 are accessible with problems.

I'd estimate birth in 1874 (+/- 1 year).

I estimated it based on the following:
1st child Joseph Pochop, born 17-Jan-1872
2nd child is Jiri Pochop
3rd child Mary Matilda Pochop, born 26-Aug-1876

Village Nihov is in the Czech republic. Frank Veleba emmigrated from Nihov to Crete, Ne in 1875. He had only daughters and so you are probably not related.

I am related to the Fannie Chase line. She was my grandmother's sister. Was wondering if you could fill out the John Hiber & Fannie family for me.

Surnames: Hiber Creech
My Creech ancestors were from Nebraska and moved to Montana as well. We have picture of a Terlyne Hiber when she was 2. Is that you? What would be your connection to my family?
