I already published a post about people from Nový Hrozenkov born between 1875 and 1880 who have a note by their birth record about immigration to the U.S. As the Nový Hrozenkov birth book contains similar information for the following years, I have decided to publish another post. :)

There are not so many notes in this time period as there were before - the huge emigration wave from Nový Hrozenkov ended in December 1882, so there were less people leaving this town after this month.

Are your ancestors from Nový Hrozenkov? If so, I'll be happy to do a research in this area!
Hello Blanka. My family moved from Novy Hrozenkov to Dubina and Holman, towns in Fayette County, Texas. Our Name is Zapalac. I have seen it spelled different ways, but Zapalac is the most common. I think the first ones to move from Moravia/Bohemia were Martin and Martina (maybe) Zapalac. They had two children born prior to leaving Moravia: Jan (Johann) Zapalac, Rozina (maybe), and a baby was born and died during the trip (another Johann I think). After getting to Texas, they had a child Mary. Martin’s son, Jan (John) married Marianna Kudelka (many spellings for both of those names). They had 11 children in Texas. One of them (Vincene Felix Zapalac, aka Jim Zapalac) was my father’s great grandfather. I’m curious to know more about Martin Zapalac who seems to have lived in Novy Hrozenkov. He and his wife and 2 children left via Bremen, Germany and arrived in Galveston, TX in 1870 (around 12/28/1870). Any information you could direct me to is appreciated. Thanks so much, Trudi
ReplyDeleteHello Trudi, have you tried locating the family through the parish books here in CZ?
