from Dorothy Janca 3/23/11
The elusive Czech relative I have is Grt grandfather Frantisek Vichr. Wife Josefa came on ship Columbia in May 1890 with 3 children--Fanny (Frantiska) age 8? Aggie (Agnes) baby Frank 9 mos. who died within 2 years and she was 6 mos pregnant with my grandmother Marie. Husband Frantisek, possibly listed as Vojtech Vichr or Wichr came first. If Grandma was born in July, he must have still been in Bohemia as late as September/October 1889, but I have never found him on a list. I found someone listed as a jeweler, but Frank was a shoemaker or laborer. He had a brother Tomas Vichr who also came to US, possibly at the same time. Frank died in 1901, so not much to go on. I think he lied and used his brother's emigration date to claim 5/7 yrs citizenship, because the numbers don't work out.

==============Dorothy Janca wrote in March 2011:Grandma lied. She was an 'old maid' I guess and didn't want to be older than her husband. St. Adabert cemetery marker is also wrong for her father because the marker was not put up until the mother died in the 30's. The sisters always said they were young when their Dad died. They tried to be consistent. St. Adalbert's sent me the burial date for Frank senior, April 1, 1902. Gramma's sisters lied on their marriage documents too because otherwise the older ones would have been born here and not in Bohemia. They are in Leo Baca's book-I forget which one.I think grandma used August 15th as a birthday a lot because it was her baptismal date. When you lie, it's hard to remember what you told to whom. Her tombstone here is totally wrong too. Maybe if she would have known that it kept her from getting social security at her real age of 65, she wouldn't have lied on every document. She even erased dates and rewrote them in the few books she had.There were at least 2 male children that died at an early age. One was John in 1903, with a twin Johanna who lived. They were born in 1900, April 15. Baby Frank who died here was born in Chrastov Aug 1889, and there is one unknown. The girls were Fanny (born 1882 in Chrastov), Aggie (1885 Chrastov), born here was Marie, Emma, and Johanna. The documents from the Czech archives are pretty clear. Oops, forgot aunt Sophie, also born here) Maybe the second male baby was born here and also named Frank. Maybe that is why I couldn't get a name, because they used Frank twice. I have a death date of Feb 28, 1891 for Frank. If the next baby was born October 1891, they probably just used the same name. I think you found my missing baby!The 1885 date threw me too; I am not sure they had to show any documentation at that time, maybe just their word. I think there was another relative by marriage of Frank Vichr--Jan or John Fantina. He was a witness on some document. Maybe he came 1885, and they just used that for everyone.Frank and Tomas' father was Bartholomej (Bartholomew) so that fits.So one of my 2 Vichr mysteries solved! Thank you Lori!
