Ciha Family - Manitowoc Co., WI
I have information on Albert Ciha (several generations of them) of the Manitowoc County, Wisconsin area.
|
Hello, was the Ciha name ever changed to or from Csida? Thank-you. If so, I am interested ia Steve Csida.
|
I have not come across the surname spelled Csida, but it's possible. I have always wondered about the spelling, feeling it may well have changed when they family imigrated to America. The family line is from Bohemia. What heritage is your line and what part of the US did your line settle in?
|
The name is Bohemian. The family settled in Manitowac Wisconsin. Thank-you for your response, Ginny

Randy, Does the township of Schleswig sound familar? The maiden name of the woman that I would be interested in this family would be Illig. She married a Steve Csida.

Schleswig Township, Manitowoc County, WI
Schleswig township is definately familiar. I grew up on a farm there. I know I have come across the name Illig when I lived there, but don't recall anyone in particular. My wifes surname is Ciha and her family is the from the city of Manitowoc and from rural areas north of the city. Her grandfather Ciha, age 96 still lives in Manitowoc.

You will find cemetery records for several Csida family members on the Manitowoc County Genealogy Website. There are 2 cemeteries listing Csida family member burials, those being: (1) Isador and Anna Csida; St. Gregory Church Cemetery, St. Nazianz, Wisconsin, and (2) Jerome, Ruth & Jeffrey Csida; St. John - St. James Ev. Lutheran Church Cemetery, Reedseville, Wisconsin. There is no reference to the Illig surname on the Manitowoc County website. Perhaps it was the Immig surname that I was recalling.

Randy, this could be a real connection, not wishful thinking. What happened was, my grandfather Steve Csida and grandmother Catherine Illig got divorced. Catherine did not want the children, and Steve tried to raise the three girls but could'nt handle it. There wer'e several adoptions, after relatives by the last name of Konz took care of these girls. Back then, families changed the spelling of there names because of disgrace. Is the Konz name firmilar? Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it Ginny
