Judy, what do you mean he is on the Czech
Immigration List? Has someone suggested that he
is in the Baca books? Not knowing the town
unfortunately is very common among Czech/Bohemian
researchers. I still have not found a record in
the Chicago area that contains a town reference
for my family. A chance meeting on line with a
cousin in Nebraska seems to prove that some
members of my family left Chicago and went to
Nebraska. My own grandparents were in Minneapolis
by about 1882.

I recommend that you list your names at the
rodclan site:

Instructions from the Czech list which will help
you navigate the site can be found at
