Kamen in Chicago, immigrated 1860s

Classification: Query
Surnames: Kamen (von Kamen), Hurt (Hurtova)
(I know the spelling’s different, but since I found one marriage record under “Kamey” and another record under “Hamen,” this spelling difference seemed small enough to ask you folks … just in case.)

Looking for siblings or parents of James Kamen.
Born 1842 as Vaclav Kamen (or von Kamen)
Birthplace listed as Bohemia or Austria in various records.

He had at least 2, possibly 3 younger brothers. He immigrated with them and their mother (possibly named Mary) to Chicago around 1866-68. Their father had died shortly before they immigrated to U.S.

James/Vaclav remained in Chicago.

1st marriage: to Katerina; they had daugher Mary. Katerina died along with 2nd child, Vaclav Anton.

2nd marriage: to Frances (Franziska) Hurtova or Hurt. Their children included James, Rose, Barbara, Frank, Bess, Emma, John.

Thanks for any information,
Patt
