I am looking for any info about Joseph Pekarek, son of Frank and Josephine. His birthdate would be in the late 1880's. I think they were from Chicago, but could have immigrated from Bohemia.

Karen, I have Pekareks in Chicago in the same time frame, but no Joseph (that I know of). Josephine (b. 1859 Bohemia) & ??? Pekarek had 6 kids born in IL: Frank (b. 1882), John (b. 1883 - wife Annie ???), Edward (b. 1887), Anna (b. 1890 - husb. John Kucera), Mary (b. 1891 - husb. John Reininger), & Bessie (b. 1892 - husb. John Miderski). If this fits at all with what you have, please contact me on the board or directly at judypetersen@hotmail.com. Thanks.

My great grandmother's (Jenny) brother was Joseph Pekarek born about 1884. I don't know the names of their parents, but know that he immigrated in 1893 from Bohemia. He resided with my great grandmother and her family in Chicago, IL. as stated in the 1920 US Federal Census. Please let me know if this is the person you are looking for as this would greatly help my research efforts as I really need to find the parents of my great grandmother.
Thank you and good luck with your research!

Did you find your ancestors on 1930 census? If yes, does it say Na-naturalized, Al-alien or Pa-first?
If naturalized, did you try to locate the naturalization petition? If not and lived passed 1940 than look for an alien registration form. Your male ancestor should have filled out a draft registration form. You need to locate a precise place of birth to proceed with the research.

There is a marriage of Frank NOVOTNY married to Franchiska PEKÁREK in New York City in Manhattan Borough, who's parents listed were Martin Pekárek and I think Marie Novak..will have to send another message. Anyway, they lived at 290 East Second St in Manhattan, right next door to my gr,gr grandmother Antoine Pekarek Karel who resided at 286 East Second Street next door to Frank and Franciska.
if there is a connection, this would be wonderful. If you know of a good researcher in the cz republic, please let me know You can reach me at bigunn52@att.net. thank you. Kare


Looking for information on the following people:
Fred Karel, born Feb 1882, son of "Antonia" (Antoinette) maiden name Pekarek. He is listed on the 1900 census. His mother Antonia Pekarek came to this country on 16 Jan 1872 on the ship Donau at the age of 17.
She is listed on the ship's passenger listing as a 'farmer".
Antonia's nickname was "Nettie" and she was widowed by 1890. Her husband was William Karel (known as Waclar or Waclen Wenzel, Wencel, William, Karela-Karel) from Nadrib, Bohemia. The town Nadrib is now Nadryby in North Pilsen, Bohemia in cz rep.
Antonia had 5 children:
I only have listed 4 children:
1.Anna or Annie, my gg mother, born in 1875, married Jacob Dippel in NYC . Anna (Karel) Dippel died in 1952 buried at Calvary Cemetery in Woodside, Queens, NY.

2. Ruderic Karel.. b.? have nothing on him. He is listed in the 1880 census. I can't find a birth certificate on this guy.
Died?

3. William Karel, son of William Karel and Antonia Karel. In 1930 is at 71-11 Woodside Avenue in Queens Borough.
His mother Antonia, mother of Fred, Anna, Nettie (age 20 in 1880 census born Apr 1880), was born Sep 8, 1854 in Bohemia and died at her son's home at 71-11 Woodside Avenue in Queens. Antonia is buried at Eveergreen Cemetery.
Antonia's father is Anton Pekarek.

4. Nettie Karel, born in 1880 don't know a thing about her.

5. Fred Karel is listed on the 1910 census, age 28 with wife Louisa age 21 and only married one year as of April 19, 1910 when the census was taken. Antonio (Antonia) his mother was age 54 then and living with the couple at 1637-24 Avenue A in Manhattan at the time. Fred is listed as a Railroad Engineer in the 1910 Census for NYC.
I'm taking a guess that Fred and Louisa had a son named Fred born on 20 Sep 1909 in NYC, died perhaps on 28 mar 1991 in Allendale, Michigan.
Anyone out there related to any of these folks?
thanks karen
