OH, YES! I'm definitely interested in the Kula's ancestry and where they orginated from as well. Thanks for your response and I look forward to any information that you are willing to share. I have Linn County listed in my data bank so I feel sure we have a link. The Mormans' said the Kula name was rare and probably easier to trace than some of my other surnames. Thank You, Carolyn

I am researching the Kula family in central PA. Do you know of any connections to them? The connection would probably be in Bohemia or with the first generation to come to America.

Our work has been almost exclusively with the Ancestry of the Franz Kula, 1809-1895, and Marie Rhia Kula, 1812-1894, who came to America and Linn County Iowa in 1855 from southern Bohemia. We can take that ancestry back to about 1700, perhaps 1683. Nothing has been done with the descendants. Reviewing our research I find it very, very difficult to make any connection with Barbara Kula born 1871 in Wisconsin. But nothing is impossible. The first generation remained in Iowa with the exception of James Kula b. 1858 who lived in SW Minnesota (Jackson).
I think there is no connection of Frank and Marie Kula with a Pennsylvania Kula family.
Copies of our Frank and Marie Kula ancestry book have been deposited at the Linn County Genealogy Society in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and the Wregie Library in Oxford Junction.

Hi I am a Kula who is still in linn co. Iowa. I have alot of info i could give you. My Cousin has made a book for our family about the past of the kula family in linn co. Prairieburg, Ia. I also have copies of the papers they singed for the trip to the US. I can tell you that the kula family I come from arrived at the port of New Orleans aboard the s/s Eberhard, which may or may not have been captained by C.F. Wiegmeier. After clearing the Custom House, Room 219 on the 2nd floor, they left by river steamer, bound for St. Louis. Listed on the ship's passenger list were the heads of household Franz and Maria Kula, ages 45 and 44 respectively, with their eight children, Maria, age 24, Franz, age 22, Joseph, age 20, Thomas, age 12, Anna, age 10, Johann,my great-great-great grandfather age 9, Catherine, age 7, and lastly, Mathias, age 3. Franz, Franz Jr., and Joseph were each listed as farmers. the Eberhard had sailed form Bremen, Germany, which, along with Hamburg and Le Havre, Fought for supremacy as the popular port of exit for German, Swiss and Scandinavian immigrants. Records also indicate that each member of the Kula family was born in the town or county of Grosszablatz somewhere in Bohemia. Tracing records back any further my prove more difficult, or even impossible, because nearly all bremen port records were distroyed by Allied bombing in World War II. I have more info but not much time to type it all down. If you would like more info you can also reach me at my e-mail. ben.kula@yahoo.com I can also be found on FaceBook.com and many others. Hope to hear from some other Kulas.

Hi, It sounds like we may have a link here? My great-grandmother, Barbara Kesla Kula, 1871-1853, was born in Linn Co., Iowa. Her parents were, Wenzel Kula, 1835-1908, and Mary Podlaha, born 1837. She married Mike Philips, 1853-1946, born in Dasney, Bohemia. (aka: Renkovii) This name was on his passport in 1920 when he went back to Bohemia/Austria. In 1922, they moved south to Alabama for their health, the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Any links you might have would be happily appreciated! Thanks, Carolyn
Ck out History of Silverhill, AL...under Wilson surname, I posted pictures of Kulas and Philips in SD...turn of 20th century...

I have been reading all the post for "Kula". My great, great, grandfather Francis Neiszer married Maria Kula. Francis was from Spisske Podhradie, Slovakia. They had three daughters that immigrated to Johnstown PA. Maria, Anna (my great grandmother), and Julianna. Maria is NOT from Spisske Podhradie. I am reading in the post that several Kula's are from Poland. Do you have a place of origin in Poland? Spiksske Podhradie is in the district of Levoca now, the old wss Spis or Szepes (Hungarian) It is very near Poland. My great grandfather stated the Poles would come over the mountain and steal our chickens.
I figure Maria was born approx. 1835-1845
