Kohel Genology - Nebraska
I am searching for any information relating to John or Jacob Kohel, who were one of the first settlers in Saline Co. NE. John had 5 children, John Jr., Mary Kohel (Stika) born 3/22/1860 in Kouty CZ., Rose Kohel (Kubovic) born 4/9/1867 on board ship during migration, died 5/23/1934, Harvey Kohel and Joseph Kohel born 6/29/1871 - 6/29/1956. Joseph was married to Anna Chrasil. John and Joseph came from Nova Kydne CZ, in april 1867,which is now known as Novosedelske Hute.

Hi Todd, there are more places in Czech Republic called Kouty. Could you tell a town near Kouty mentioned by you?

Re: Kohel Genology - Nebraska
The only town that I have come across near Kouty CZ in my reseach was known as Novo Kdyne under the Austrian empire which is now known as Novosedelske Hute in the Czech Republic.

Re: Kohel Genology - Nebraska
Well, I found it on map, it's in Domazlice (Taus) region. It's about 450 miles from the place, where I'm living. But I'll try to find somebody local to check the book birth Regards, Zoltan

Re: Kohel Genology - Nebraska
Hi Zoltan, I believe I found Novosedelsky Hute in the mountainous region of western Czech Republic near The German border. I also believe that Johan and Katherine Kohel were trying to avoid the Austrian - Prussian War and in April 1867, they sailed aboard the ship named "Industrie" from Breman Germany. Maybe a local church may have records of their birth, their parents or their children.

Re: Kohel Genology - Nebraska
Todd, I am also doing research on Kohels from that same area. Perhaps we can share information. My acestors went to Wisconsin (eastern portion). There is also another family of Kohels in the western portion (Barron county) but we have not been able to find a link. I lived in Czech Republic for 4 years and corresponded with several Kohel families in Southern Bohemia. Some of the towns include Domazlice, Vseruby, Babylon, Kdyne, Klatovy, Kadov, Usilov. I'd be very interested in learning more about your family history.

Scott, My ancestors are from the south-eastern portion of Wisconsin too, I would love to share information and learn what you know. Leslie Fell (nee Kohel)

Re: Kohel Genology - Nebraska
Leslie, I have a great deal of info on the Kohels. This is mostly the same information that my Uncle, Jim Kohel, had put together with the help of Michael Kohel of southern california. Unfortunately, Uncle Jim died a month ago. But I am willing to share any information you'd be interested in seeing. We've gone as far back as c.1800 and know that Joseph Kohel, our original immigrant, is from South Bohemia (i.e. around Domazlice, Czech Republic - actually, we suspect Kout Na Sumave but are unable to get research done in Czech at this time). I would love to discover any connections/relations that exist between other kohels, but let me know what interests you. Sincerely, Scott my email is scottmarcussen@sbcglobal.net

Re: Kohel Genology - Nebraska
Scott,
I already started an investigation regarding Kohels in Czech Republic near Domazlice on base of info from Todd Kohel (I'm living cca. 450 miles from that location). No result yet. But I was searching Jacob Kohel. I'll try to find Joseph Kohel also, maybe will have more luck.
P.S. His name was written as Joseph or as czech version of it, which is Josef ?
Regards, Zoltan.

Re: Kohel Genology - Nebraska
Zoltan, Where do you live? Are you Hungarian, Czech, Austrian? I would like to know more about your ancestry. Our Josef Kohel had 4 sons born in Bohemia. They were Adam c.1839, John c.1845, Frank c.1847, and Lewis born October 22, 1849. From Lewis's marriage record we found "Eckstein" listed as his birthplace. Since there is no Eckstein, Todd suggested that the translation is roughly "corner stone" which could be Kout Na Sumave (not far from Kdyne, south of Domazlice). If you come across any records for his sons I would be extremely interested (and excited). Thank you for your help.
Sincerely, Scott Marcussen
