I'm looking for Joseph PACHTA born abt. 1825 Bohemia. He was married to Anna NASPOR. I was told that he immigrated 1855. I have the 1870 & 1880 Johnson Co. IA censuses. In 1900 he was living in Antelope Co. NE. One of the censuses shows a son, Charles, as being born in IA 1864 along with daughter, Mary, born 1869. Another daughter, Anna, was born 1860 & her death certificate shows her place of birth as Wisconsin. I've tried searching ancestry.com census records, but no luck.

Any other ideas? Was there a state census for 1865?

I appreciate any help.

on the 1860 census there is a Peschta;

Name: Joseph Peschta
Age in 1860: 38
Birth Year: abt 1822
Birthplace: Bohemia
Home in 1860: Milwaukee Ward 2, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This is the only family in the state of Wisconsin that is close to the family you are looking for. Could this be your family?

This could be a relation, but is not the family I'm looking for. Thank you for your help.
