A About the Webmaster - RESEARCHER (Czech) - ANCESTOR - Chapman, Susan (114) - Vopalensky, Jan (1) and Duba, Josefa (2) |
Chapman, Susan |
Welcome to the www.VOPALENSKY.biz website.
My name is Susan Chapman, and this website contains my mothers genealogy. I have been working on the family history for many years, collecting family history memorabilia since my childhood. This website is my way of sharing my research with family and friends. My mother Lorraine VOPALENSKY Bigalke was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, and married Chester Bigalke. Her parents are Joseph VOPALENSKY and Mary Piemeisel VOPALENSKY. My great-grandfather, Jan VOPALENSKY and grandfather, Joseph VOPALENSKY were born in Dusejov, Czech Republic and immigrated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA in 1891. My great-grandfather, Joseph Piemeisel was born in Puclice #24 (Putzlitz), Czech Republic; married Anna Steinbach Piemeisel of Maly Malahov #4 (Klein Mallowa), Czech Republic; and immigrated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA in 1882.
In 1998, I visited Dusejov, Puclice and Maly Malahov. In Dusejov, Miloslav Cizek gave me a Czech book about the history of Dusejov, written in 1995 by Jaroslava Paulusova. Because of this book, other researchers visited the Czech Republic. In 2007 the author of this book, visited many of the cities in the USA where the emigrants from Dusejov and surrounding villages, had settled; and in 2013 visited the USA and attended the 2013 Czechoslovak Genealogical Society International Conference. Jaroslava wrote a Czech book about Opatov in 2010 and updated the Dusejov book in 2013; both books include a chapter about Czech emigrants from those villages, that families in the Czech Republic will know where their relatives settled in the USA. Jaroslava also wrote a Czech book about Borsov in 2015, where the Vopalensky family lived before settling in Dusejov. Information is being collected by Jaroslava, for a new book about Dudin.
This site includes the genealogies of many families that immigrated from Dusejov and surrounding villages, to the USA. Often these families arrived together on the same ship, or were neighbors, or their children married each other. Someday, I hope to find out how all the VOPALENSKY and Piemeisel families in the United States of America (Ameriky) are related.

Hello,
I am looking for information about my ancestor family. Vaclav and Theresa Vasicek came to the USA August 1867 with their children John, Joseph, and Sophia. They lived in Wisconsin, Kansas and then Oklahoma where Vaclav filed for a homestead of 160 acres. Theresa claimed the land after Vaclav died. She moved to another county in Oklahoma and filed her own homestead! John is my great grandfather... I know the history of the family in the US but want to know the about the villages in Bohemia where they were born. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Jinny Hopp

Looking for Wasecek (Washicheck, Vasicek, Washecheck). My relatives homesteaded in Oklahoma in 1890. My grandfather, Ed Washecheck, was born at Cuba Kansas. His parents were John and Anna. John is son of Wenzel and Theresia Wasnecka (listed as Johann Wasnecka, age 7) from Bohemia. They arrived in the US on 8 August 1867 at NY on board the Marco Polo bound for Milwaukee. I am seeking their village in Bohemia.

Surnames: Masilko, Vichr, Kos, Herna
Hi,
I have an Anna Masilko from Rychnov married to a brother of my great grandfather by name of Tomas Vichr. Anna was born about 1851 and died in Chicago area February 02, 1920. She is buried in St. Adalbert Catholic Cemetery, Cook Co. Illinois, USA. She had 2 sons that I know of, John James Vicher and Josef Vicher. This info came from a combination of tombstone, church records and social security records. The Vichrs came from Chrastov #17, a nearby village. My greatgrandparents were Frantisek Vichr and Josefa Kos. Josefa and her sister Anna were from Novy Rychnov #19.

Researching: VICHR, VICHER, KOS, HERNA, RYSOVA, HANZAL, HODAC
Looking for links with this surname Frantisek Vichr born March 3, 1844 in Chrastov, okres Pocatky, kraj Tabor. He Married Josefa Kos, born January 23, 1858 in Novy Rychnov, kraj Tabor. All living children were daughters Frantiska, Anezka, Marie, Sophie, Emily, and Johanna. Frantisek's father was Bartolomej Vichr, son of Jacob.. There was another son, Tomas who came to Chicago and his sons John and Joseph changed the spelling to Vicher. John had a son named Edward. Edward was in the US army in 1943. Josefa had at least one sister who married a man surnamed Herna. One child, Eduard Herna, died at age 18 in Chicago after being in US only 8 mos. (1905). Josefa's father was Jan Kos, son of Frantisek Kos and Theresa Rysova (both of Novy Rychnov) and mother was Anna Hanzal, daughter of Matej Hanzal of Rohozna and Marie Hodac of Dusejov.

Borbara’s children also came to America. I’ve also been in touch with a woman named Dorothy Janca from the Blahnik family. She comes from Josef Blahnik 1829-1912’s daughter Barbora Blahnik. She married Vaclav Halama from Chodska Lhota. Their son, James Halama came to the United States. This is Dorothy’s Grandfather. Dorothy was good enough to send me some of the letters and publications of Ladislav Blahnik. She was already aware of her connection to Joel as they both come from the 14th generation, Josef Blahnik 1829-1912 of Smrzovice Bohemia.
Barbora Blahnik born April 14, 1865 in Chodska Lhota, Bohemia married Vaclav Halama. Their son,
James Halama born 1894 came to the USA and married Marie Vichr. He died in 1983 in the USA.

I am most grateful to the members of the list and the GBHS for the rich
body of shared work that you have done on the Berman Bohemian Heritage.
I have joined the list in pursuit of reserach I am doing on the
following thjree names: Vogel, Flor and Piemeisel. They came to Brwon
County, Minnesota, USA in the 1850s from the village of Bernstein in
Waier Parish, Bischofteinitz.
I am the great-great grandson of Simon and Barbara (Piemeisel) Vogel
who came to Brown County in 1855, 1856 or 1857 (dependiing upon source)
. I grew up in New Ulm, Minnesota and now live in St. Paul, Minnesota.
I have already learned a great deal from the pathbreaking work of Robert
Paulson and Ken Meter, as well as the wonderful GBHS website and
associated resources. I look forward to joining the cnoversation on
this list.
