I am looking for people with especially with the name SOYA/SOJA in the area in an near Bojkovice.
Where does such a name appear besides in Bojkovice ?
I am also looking for ancestors from Bojkovice with the names :
Prchla, Kutny, Urbanek, Zervenka, Kulik, Mikulka, Lisska, Kassik and Hakussek.

In a spot check in my ancestral area around Valasske Klobouky, I found 2 Soja's in Popov, 1 each in Stitna Nad Vlari, and alittle further west, in Slavicin. I can fill you in on the details and check other nearby villages if you like.

About 8 yrs. late but if you are still around, I am researching Kassik and have some information on the family that arrived about 1874 and settled in Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma.

As I posted above, I have Kassik from in and around Bojkovice, Moravia ? Can you trace yaour KAssik branch back to Europe yet ?

No. All I have is that they arrived in US 1874 and this is based on the death of one child who died at sea on the way from Europe. First found in 1880 US Census which lists them as born in Aust-Bohemian and my great aunt, before her death, said they came from Kolin.

1880 Census, Blue Rapids,Marshall, Kansas, April 12, 1880; Page 15, Dwelling 135-154: George Koshick, age 44, born Bohemia, Stone Mason, mother and father born in Bohemia, / Mary, age 40, born in Bohemia, Keeping House/ Mary, age 8, daughter, at school/ Joseph, age 4, son/ Emilia, age 3, daughter/ George, age 2, son/ John, age 9/12 (April) son/ Wesley, age 12, son, at school.

Jen Koshick and family are recorded in all later documents as "Kassik". I am not sure of the original spelling of the name before USA so that is also making it difficult.
