Hi Joan and all Kodadeks (esp Erma and Francis descendants)
For about 12 years I have been researching my line of Kodadek, and do not seem to be able to connect it to "your' family, tho I feel there may be a relationship, somewhere, perhaps in Czechoslovakia!
The earliest ancestor I have found is John Kodadek, b 1818 in Bohemia, who married Katerina Novak. They came to America with three children (that I know of) in 1864, and settled in MN. I have bits and pieces of your family, from correspondences with many of you since 1997.
If someone would be kind enough to send me a genealogy report of the descendants of Erma and Francis, with b, d, and m info I would be most appreciative. I likewise would be happy to do the same with John and Katerina's descendants, including locations,if anyone is interested. It would be great fun to connect these two lines, as the name is unusual, seems not to have changed spelling over the years, and there seem to be a rather small number of us.
Thank you all in advance for any light you can shed on "Kodadek".
