Marie Payer and Mathias Hofbauer, Herice, Bohemia
I am looking for the families of Marie Payer Hofbauer (b. 1844, Bohemia) and Matthias Hofbauer,( b 1840, Bohemia). They arrived in the USA 15 May 1880, along with Johanne Hofbauer (b. 1817 in Bohemia), presumably mother of Matthias and their children, Marie( 1870), Mathilde (1873) and Joseph (1874). Mathilde was my great-grandmother on my mother's paternal side. Mathilde married Frank Ullmann. My mother knew her father and grandparents only slightly as her parents, Louis Ullmann and Margaret McCollum divorced when she was small. Franz and Ferdinand Ullmann were father and grand-father to Frank. Franz is believed to have been married to Agnes Habele. All these families are believed to have come from the same general region in what is now the Czech Republic.
