Ashley,

Yes, I am always looking to add people to my family tree. I have heard of you, however I do not yet know how you are related to my line of Cleveland, Ohio Toncars.

My great grandfather immigrated to the U.S. in 1901 from the Vodnany area of Bohemia (Czech Republic). I know the names and dates of all of his brothers and sisters, as well as his father's family. Maybe if you provided me with the names of your father, grandfather, great grandfather, etc. (as far back as you know), I could check them against the data that I have and perhaps come up with some connection.

I visited the archives in CZ back in 1999 and again in 2001. It's such a beautiful country and to walk the same paths as my ancestors did hundreds of years ago meant so much to me. It was the opportunity of a lifetime.

I am also on Facebook, if you'd like to send a friend request. There's more data on me, personally, there. Thanks for contacting me and look forward to figuring out the relationship between us.
