Hello there! Regards from a French Janicek (living in Holland :-). Cheers
I am writing because we may be kin. My g-g-grandmother was Rosalie Janicek and my g-g-grandfather was John Janicek . They immigrated from Novy Hrozincov, Moravia in 1872. My ggma only lived about 1 1/2 years and died. Her gravestone only shows Rosalie Janitschek. And has no maiden name listed anywhere. Just in case you happen to be the lucky connection I am searching for,,, perhaps you can give me her maiden name. I am 84 years of age and have been at this since 1989. I would be sooo happy to get this 1 last bit of info. Does it sound even a little bit familiar. My gma’s Name was Veronica, she was called Veruna, and she had brothers John , Frank and 2 step-sisters. After ggma died, ggpa married a lady with er last name of Barosh that had come over on the boat with them. So what do you think of all of this? Please let me know, or maybe give me a little nudge where I can get some other help. Thanks, Georgia.You have a lovely photo.
Hi Josh & Elise :) Very nice page. I am writing from Central Europe, from country of your ancestors, from far Czech Republic. Especially in Moravia is our surname more frequent :) I wish your family a lot of hapiness and joy and happy New Year! Kindly, Jan
Hi Josh & Elise. I chanced upon your blog and found it an interesting family read not only for being written by a namesake.
