Anton Kahabka of Domaslav, Bohemia
Looking for the parents of Anton KAHABKA from Domaslav, Bohemia, which is NE of Pilsen who was m. to Anna Maria ROTH. His daughter, Theresia, was b. in 1839 in Domaslav, and m. Frank KUNZEL, there. My grandmother, Elizabeth KUNZEL, was b. there on 21 Feb 1867. She came to NApa Valley, CA when she was 18. Thanks for any info about Anton. I only have his name from Theresia's death certificate from Napa, CA. Thanks for any help.

Maybe there's some information I can provide.
By the way: did your family ever have a chocolate producing firm?
Sicerely yours, Chris D. Haubold

Re: Anton Kahabka of Domaslav, Bohemia
Hello Chris, Your information would be very welcome as I only know of Anton Kahabka from my gt-grandmother, Teresia's death certificate. They all left Domaslav about 1886 or 1887 and went to Kansas and then Oklahoma. Teresia then went to Napa Valley to be with my grandmother's family about 1905. Any other family members would have been forced to move after WWII when the German speaking people were told to leave. There was a Maria? Kahabka still living in Domaslav until about 1945, but no Kunzels. Anton Kahabka may have been a farmer as he owned a field shown on a 1840 map of Domaslav,. Frank and Teresia Kunzel were supposed to have owned a gasthaus before leaving Donamslav. Have never heard of any chocolate factory. Any information about the KAHABKAs would be most welcome. Thank you for answering my query. Marg McEuen

Anton Kahabka of Domaslav, Bohemia
Hello,
first of all I must tell you that I'm from Germany, so you should excuse my bad English... To me there's known a family named KAHABKA consisting of my grand-grand-grand-grandfather Franz Kahabka, born on 13. November 1811 in Weseritz/Bohemia (today: Bezdruzice/Czech Republic), died on 4. January 1886 in Weseritz/Bohemia, too. His (only) son Josef Kahabka was born on 15. April 1840 in Weseritz and died on 16. April 1897 in Chemnitz/Saxony (Saxony is a federal country of Germany). Obviously he must have moved from Bohemia to Saxony. But then they lost the surname KAHABKA because their only child (a daughter, of course) Emilie Kahabka born on 8. November in Chemnitz and died in 1973, got married to Franz Kühnhold... Before they moved to Chemnitz they all were Catholics, Emilie was the first who changed confession because of her marriage with the Protestant Franz Kühnhold. The "old" Kahabka's always told my ancestors that their family (and so the surname too) originally came from Hungary (though I don't have any proof by now). But I only know this line of the family tree (starting with Franz Kahabka) and I don't know wether Franz Kahabka has had a brother or a cousin (perhaps named Anton) who moved to Domaslav or anywhere else. Any parallels?
R.S.V.P.
Sincerely, Chris D. Haubold

Anton Kahabka of Domaslav/Bohemia related to Franz Kahabka of Bezdruzice/Bohemia???
What a question.... Well but I found out, that Domaslav (former Böhmisch Domaschlag) and Bezdruzice (former Weseritz) are neighbouring villages/towns. Should there something be ringing in my brain? ;-)
Sincerely, Chris

Re: Anton Kahabka of Domaslav/Bohemia related to Franz Kahabka of Bezdruzice/Bohemia???
Hello, Chris. It had been awhile since I checked this Board and I apologise for not replying to your last couple of messages. I still have not connected the KAHABKA families from Domaslav and Bezdruzice. Now have a researcher checking the Plzen Archives and also those at Celiv, which is near both Domaslav and Bezdruzice, as I live in NM, USA. Your English is much better than my German, even though my father spoke it, but my mother didn't, so I didn't learn much. The researcher is going to continue to look for Anton KAHABKA, b. 1843, in Domaslav. He was the son of Anton KAHABKA, b. 1808 in Milikau (was just NW of Domaschlag and was destroyed after 1945)and Maria Anna ROTH, b. 1801 in Domaslav. Anton KAHABKA, Sr. was the son of Martin KAHABKA b. ? and Anna Maria ZIEGLER, d/o of Georg and Katharina (TRESCHERIN. She was b. 1774 in Wolfersdorf (Olbramov). Their marriage record was not found. Neither was Martin KAHABKA's birth record, so not sure where he came from. There was also a Wenzel b. May 1860 and d. 1917 who is buried in the Cemetery with St. James Catholic Ch. in Domaslav. I do not know how he is connected either, but he may be related to my gt-grandmother, Theresia's brother, Anton KAHABKA b. 1843. Her other sibling died young, but I do not know what happened to Anton. I think all the KAHABKA's are related, but it may be several generations back. Unless Theresia's brother, Anton, had any descendants, my line also "Daughered out" with Theresia marrying Frank KUNZL. I will have the Rearcher check further later this summer. I have asked hem to take notes on any KAHABKAS that he finds. I'll be in touch if I find any connections between our families. There is another lady in Dallas, TX whose father was a KAHABKA and was b. in Plzen. We are also trying to connect. Sincerely, Marg

Hi Marg.
I checked the parish registers of Saduba, Domaschlag, Milikau and Leskau last week. Elisabeth Kunzl really born 21st Feb 1867 in Saduba (register page 34). Theresia Kahabka born 21st Jul 1839 in Domaschlag (leaf 15). Anton Kahabka married 1834 to Maria Anna Roth. Josef Kunzl married 1829 to Maria Magdalena Habla. For more info contact me directly. Tony.

Hello, Tony. Thank you for the information. The researcher who is working in the Pilzen Archives has sent me the birth and marriage certificates for them. Now we are trying to find out where the KAHABAKAs and the KUNZLs came from originally before moving to Domaslav, Saduba, and Milikau, the latter I understand is no longer there. I am also trying to connect all the KAHABKAs, as there are so few of them, even here in the USA. I also eventually want to find out more about the HABLAs from Leskau. I'll send a file to your e-mail so you can see what has been found and maybe hae some ideas on how to add to it. Thanks. Marg
