Do you have any Zgarba or Susen family information that could tie in with mine?
Seeking information about the Zgarba family: father Josef, children, Veronika b 1882 and Jan(John) b 1887. The children were born in Miti, Moravia (the Czech Republic).
I know nothing of Josef except that he was born about 1860.
Jan Zgarba came to the US in Feb 1914 departing Bremen, Germany and arriving the port of Galveston, Texas.
Jan Zgarba worked in the mines for a railroad company in Brilliant, New Mexico, Colfax county in 1917. In 1920 he was living in Sugarite, Colfax county, NM. He died in NM in 1965 and is buried in Mount Calvary cemetery, Raton, NM (Colfax county).
Veronika was married in 1907 in the Czech republic to Jan Susen / Sosnova. She arrived the US in 1920 thru NY on the Manchuria with three children (Joseph, Jerry, Mildred). She was in Wisconsin in 1921. Vera (alt name) was also in the NM area during 1924 and 1925. The Jan and Vera Susen family left NM in Aug 1925 and settled in the Ladysmith Wisconsin area where she died in 1954.
