Aaaaggghh! Your Dad is my cousin! Melvin was my uncle and godfather! My Dad was Andrew Joseph,and he had 7 of us..6 girls and 1 boy (well, not kids, but!) Someone in the family changed the "j" to a "y" - confusing enough anyway for pronunciation! I found out in the computer (where else?) that the first Cmejla (joseph) and wife (Elizabeth) with 2 kids, came over from Bohemia via Bremen Germany Sept 5, 1857, to get to "Visconsin" (this was a German ship - remember?) name of ship is Aeroquater. Grandpa was Charles B> Cmejla - nicknamed Brownie - family start seemed to be Algoma, Wi. They had 5 kids - Melvin, Elizabeth, Marie, Andrew and John Ralph. Grandma was Emma Guillaume, whose family came from Belgium. P.S. we kids called your Dad Chuckie - that is, cousin Terese, Pat and myself, and Gary and Joe etc. Egad, small world!! Also, common male names seem to be Charles, Joseph Andrew, Michael, maybe a Frank or two...
