Sorry for the very late reply.

I have the exact location of Anton's birth, etc. (Svinov being in the Silesia region, now absorbed into Ostrava), but any records I have on Mikel or Barbora do not list their city of birth. (Ellis Island records are no good, as they came here before Ellis Island opened; they went through Castle Clinton in NYC before going on to Baltimore). Currently my research is looking into whether or not Barbora's line of Janaceks could be any relation to the composer Leos Janacek, as Leos' home town of Hukvaldy is also in the Moravia-Silesia region. A long shot, but a starting point.

Hi Nancy,

Where did your grandfather settle in the U.S.? My husband's last name is Yaneshak. His grandfather had a cousin who settled in Pennsylvania. As far as my husband knows, the relatives in PA are the only other Yaneshak relatives that he is aware of in the U.S. His grandfather was of Ukrainian descent and came here in the early 1910s.

nancybeitman — 2009-06-01 06:17:18Z

When my great grandfather Peter Yanacheak came to America, Ellis Is. possible phoenetically spelled his last name from Janacek to Yanacheak. Is there anyone with a likeness to these names and story? We have no real proof except guessing. GG Peter couldn't read at the time and wouldn't have a clue.

Re: JANECEK/JANACEK

actomanek — 2008-12-16 03:05:55Z

I don't have much information for you, but maybe this will help us both.

My 3x great-grandmother is Barbra/Barbora Janacek Cabak. She was born in 1839, but I dont' have much more information on her early life other than that she married Mikel Cabak in 1865.

She and Mikel had 2 children, Mikel (b. 1866) and Celestyna (b. 1868) before immigrating to the United States in the 1880s.

Some records say they came from Moravia and others say Austria. Based on the fact that Celestyna's husband, Anton Tomanek, came from Svinov in what is now the Czech Republic, and that my great-grandpa said that Czech was spoken when he was growing up, I assume that Celestyna's parents were from the same general region.

JANECEK/JANACEK

KKantorik427 — 2006-03-01 20:18:34Z

My great grandmother Magdalena Janecek was born in “Prague” in either 1856 or 1865. According to her death record, her father was Joseph. I am trying to find village in which she lived, hoping that she and my great grandfather married there and possibly filed their request to emigrate to America from there (Joseph in 1881, Magdalena in 1883). I don’t know if they were married and emigrated together or married here in America. I have no luck finding her in my great grandfather Joseph Kantorik’s village of Osek, District Rokycany. I would like to correspond with any Janecek/Janacek families to see what village their ancestors came from, just to give me a place to start looking! Thank you!

MAGDALENA JANECEK FATHER JOS

thejesser1344 — 2005-11-17 00:11:29Z

Has anyone researching JANECEK come across Magdalena, born approx 1865 in Prague? On her death certificate, father's name is listed as Joseph. I have no further information! Not sure when Magdalena immigrated but in 1887 she had a child in my area, Westmoreland County, PA and lived here until her death in 1948.

Thank you!

Dianne....I was wondering if you have found any leads in regards to "Rose". I have reason to believe that she may have been my great grandmother. My family name is Jasinek, they did come from Joliet Illinois and my Aunt does have the name Rozga listed in some papers that she has. I along wih my Aunt am quite curious to learn what you have and am willing to help YOU learn more. E-mail me at restless13@aol.com....I am REALLY looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Re: Janacek Family Reunion

2004-04-06 23:23:29Z

John, I am interested in any relation or information you may provide for me on the Janacek name in Texas. My grandparents were from Hallestville. John and Lucy Henke. If I am not mistaken. My grandfather's mother was the one that has the ties to the Janacek name. She was Amelia Henke, married to Joesph Henke. I am not sure if it was her maiden name that was Janacek or how it goes, so any help would be great!

Just wondering if you have info on the Smykal family. I have a Anna K Smykal married to Vaclav Koutecky. She died Dec 1966, I have her death cerif. ordered. She died in Florida. I don't know anything about her family except she had daughters Lillian, Anna and Mildred. She had to have been married somewhere around 1890 or so. He was born in 1866, so she was born around then sometime also. That is not much to go on...Lori

Franciso and Mathius Janicek/Jenicek/Janacek, etc

2004-01-28 04:12:40Z

I am looking for information about Franciso Janicek and his wife, Josefa Smykal, who immigrated from Tavikovice, Moravia to the US. Their son, Mathius(Matthew or Martin), was baptized in July 1879, at St. Procopius Catholic Church, Chicago, Illinois. I believe Franciso is the brother of my gg-grandfather, Mathius Jenicek. The family might have moved to Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, or parts unknown

Janacek, Doherty from Chicago, Cook, IL

candinicholls — 2002-01-23 21:24:17Z

I am looking for any information anyone might have regarding Janacek's from Chicago, Illinois.

Vivian Elsie Janacek was born in Chicago in 1924 and died in Wyoming in 1958. She had a brother named Ralph who may still be alive. From what I've heard, her family disowned her after she got married.

Her mother's name was Julia. I don't know her maiden name. Either her husband (Mr. Janacek) died or they were divorced, and she then married a Mr. William Doherty. I believe the children (Vivian and Ralph) took his last name, and went by Doherty.

Please contact me if you have any information regarding this family. Thanks.

All my Janacek's arrived in Galveston about 1916. If your family was here already- then I doubt we're related. If you have information before that year of Janacek's in or around Brno, then please let me know!

Janisek possibly Janacek?

weeblez — 2001-06-23 05:07:51Z

The 1910 census of Joliet, Illinois has a John Janisek residing with Frank Rozga. John is listed as a nephew, aged 22. Is it possible that Jasinek is a variation of Janacek? I have also seen the name Jasinski in Joliet. I'm trying to find out if John Jasinek was the son of my great-great Aunt Rose. I have NO information on Rose. Any information would be appreciated.

Janisek

weeblez — 2001-06-23 05:07:51Z

Thank you for the suggestion. This is a name I found on a census in Joliet, Illinois as the nephew of my great-great uncle Frank Rosenfeld. I was hoping it would lead me to a great-great aunt Rose. You've given me something to think about.

Janisek

2001-04-11 08:54:20Z

Many Janacek's came to America in the 1880's to the 1890's. Many have Americanized their names and makes the search more difficult. If you could find the families that came abroad, your search may be easier. Many Czechs came to America through New York, Texas, and Louisian. Try looking for information in that area.

Any Luck?

2001-02-14 13:37:46Z

Last we spoke, you would check on Janacek's from Male Hrabova.....any luck?

Adolph Janacek and Joseph Janacek

2000-10-26 07:12:21Z

I appreciate your help, but these are not my relatives. I've run across these names before. My uncle Adolph died in the late 1960's and my grandfather in the 70's.

Your Grandfather

2000-10-25 11:30:23Z

Franz Janaczek had sons named Josef, Johan, and Adolph. Adolph came to America with his brothers in the late 1800's. They, too came through Galveston up the Indianola Trail and settled in Dayton near Houston, TX. From what I have gathered so far, this family comes from Male (Klein) Hrabowa, Moravia. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Adolph married Anna Fiser. Adolph died in 1913 in Ammansville, TX.

Thank you for your response.

Janacek

2000-10-25 10:40:56Z

My family originated in Male Hrbova, Moravia. It is my understanding there were many Janacek's from Moravia who migrated to the U.S. in the late 1800's. My Grandfather, fluent in Czech, says Janacek means "little giants" because our ancestors were short stocky people. I can't say this is true today, I'm 6'3". My Great-Great-Great Grandfather migrated from Male Hrbova in 1880 and landing in Eastgate, TX near Houston. I hope this may help. Please e-mail me at jeremj@altavista.com

Hello John M. Janacek-
I'll try to find more informations for you. There is no problem about Mala Hrabova, but it would be very usefull to know the day of the birth ( or the year). I have been living since 1968 in Germany (about 600 miles from Moravia) but I visit (after 1989) every 2-3 months for some days.
I am sure many informations could we get with help of Internet or by phone. Excuse my English, it was thirty years ago much better. Anyway, I can understand and hope the same for you.
