I have a tiny little bit. My fiancee is descended from Emma Kotalik/Kotalikova (1896 - 1962), a daughter of Frantisek Kotalik of Pisek, Bohemia (1870 - 1941). The children of Frantisek were (and there may be others):

Frantisek (Jr.) (1890 - ?)
Emma (1896 - 1962)
Zdenik (1899 - ?)

Frantisek Jr. was married to a woman named Vilhelmina (1893 - ?) and they had a son named Vilem, b. 1916. When they arrived at Ellis Island on the ship Hansa from Hamburg on 6 Nov 1921, they said they owned their home at 3251 Fulton Rd. and had been residents of the US since 1911.

Emma married a man from Pisek named John (Jan? Johan?) Sykora in Pisek about 1912 and came to Cleveland that year. They had two children, one of whom is still living. The other, Emil J. Sykora, died in 1973.

Zdenik came to the US through Ellis Island on the Hansa with Frantisek in 1921. It was his first time to the US and he told the officials that he would be staying with his brother, whom the official called Frank, at 3251 Fulton.

A man from Pisek named Josef Sykora and his wife Maria came through Ellis Island in 1912 and again in 1925. Josef is the right age (b. 1871) to have been Frantisek Sr.'s brother, but there is not especially a reason to believe that to be true, except that he lived a couple blocks from Frantisek Jr. at 3139 W. 50th St.

I have only just begun researching this line and I welcome information anyone might have.

I am pretty sure this is my mother's family. I grew up in the Fulton Rd. area and I believe Emil was my mother's cousin. If you email me I'll put you in touch with her.

I would like to know more about where you found my grandfather, I never knew him by "Frantesek". Please e-mail me back.

Thank you,

I have been researching my father's family (Jurecek) and found in the manifest at Ellis Island that my grandmother (Maria Calek Jurecek) had a cousin in Dubro, Czechoslovakia by the name of Janos (John) Kotalik. I know nothing else of my father's family. Would the name of Janos Kotalik be one in your family? My grandmother and father emigrated to the U.S. in 1921.
