Hi Patrica,
Thank you for the information. Is there any way to get in touch with this part of the family? I'm new to this so I'm not sure where to go from here.
Thanks,Susan

Antonin DVORAK's daughter is Otylie. I've
got a chart of his direct lineage all the way
from c. 1610 to latest about 1990. and it
has all of his children listed and their
year of birth and year of death. Starts with
a Jan DVORAK in 1610. Book is "Antonin
DVORAK, My Father" by Otakar DVORAK, the
composer's son.

Yes, Otilka, Otilie were both names of that daughter of Antonin Dvorak, the composer. I'm assuming it was the feminine version of Otakar which was one of Antonin's sons. I've got 2 books on the great composer. Glad someone is interested in him besides me.

Sincerely John Dvorak (no relative, just a fan)

You mentioned a "Jan Dvorak" born in 1610. I have a Jan Dvorak born in 1810. But, his name is listed as "Jan Dvorak Pavlovsky" born 5-16-1810. Does this sound familiar to you at all? Just wondering if he wouldn't have been a descendent of your "1610 Jan".

You should check your local library for a copy as well. You could photocopy the information you need. Many central libraries have genealogy departments, you may want to ask them also.

My g-gf's sister married a Dvorak, and I recently connected with their grandaughter. Perseverance is the key, good luck to you!
