My GG grandfather Peter Ceplecha(1856-1930) married Mary Karel(1855-1940). Mary is the daughter of John Karel and Marie. Peter is the son of John Ceplecha(1824-1900).

WOW! Excellent! This iwas the name i had concluded from researching the Census pages and MANY MANY names and dates. Vanderlannwas the only one that made sense, but i just didnt have enough info to verify it!

My best friend is Nellie Verheek's Grandson. He'll be very excited to know that Ive connected the dots!

Any other info you could provide would be extremely welcome. If you have any questions just email me at mike (at) tz250racing (dot) com.

Nellie VerHeek was my grandmother. Her maiden name was VanderLaan. Her mother's name was Jennie Karel. What sort of information do you need or want? Let me know. I would be glad to help.

How are you related to John and Nellie VerHeek?

Re: Karel family

2006-02-05 18:09:08Z

Hello, In regards to the Kerol family and Verheek. I am looking for more information on Nellie Verheek, we dont know her maiden name. She was married to a John George Verheek, they lived in Grand Rapids. Nellie was "Nellie Pearl" or she went by Pearl, it may have not been a given middle name, but her first name was Nellie.

I cannot find ANY census data having a Nellie Kerol. I have scoured the databases trying to verify the years and it just doesnt match up. The only Nellies listed were born earlier or later. Nellie ( ) Verheek was born Feb 15, 1897.

If you can shed some light on this info it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: karel relatives

2005-11-16 15:11:45Z

Darlene,
I am not sure about any survivors. There was a book called "Lidice - The story of czech village" where should be a list with all name who did not survive Lidice tragedy during WWII (including pictures).
I have tried to locate this book at library, but is not available. Will try another source.
I know that it is not very possitive information, but all men who were in Lidice at that time were killed. So if there were any ancestors still living in Lidice, I am not sure .....
Please mail me at my private email - radka.prgha@seznam.cz
Will try to locate the book and see if there is any information. I would need to know more details if there are some....
Please advise,
Radka

Just wondering if any one has him listed on their tree, his DOB was Nov.15,1899, I do not know his parents names. He had at least two sisters(not sure if there were more) Mable and Ann.

Karel Family

2001-12-21 15:58:10Z

My ancestors (Jan(John) Karel b.1816 m. Kotje (Katie) Bakelaar b.1820) imigrated from Ouddorp, ZH Netherlands to NJ in 1861 before coming to Grand Rapids, MI in 1869. Children are Gerrit, Johanna, Richard, Martin and Pieterje. Gerrit and Johanna remained out east. Gerritt americanized the last name to Karl.

Am looking for information to find out Jan (John) Karel siblings\parents.

At this point I have no knowledge of them being related to the Karel family from Holland, Ravenna, Muskegon or other Karel families in Grand Rapids.

Re: Mary Flamm

lqpcogen — 2002-09-04 21:22:18Z

Hi Tracy,
I believe the Mary Flamm you are talking about was born Sept. 8, 1833 at Belgersdorf, Hungary, a daughter of Johann (John) and Mary (Bongardner) Flamm. She died Jan. 6, 1919 and was buried at St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery, Rosen, Lac qui Parle County, MN. Mary married Nicholas Karels, b. Jan. 2, 1831 at Wahl, Luxembourg and d. July 14, 1898, buried at St. Joseph's Cem., also. They were married Jan. 7, 1858 at Shakopee, Scott Co., MN. They had 9 children.

Mary had a sister, Anna, b. Jan. 1, 1840 at Belgersdorf, Hungary, and d. Jan. 9, 1923, buried at St. Joseph's Cem., Rosen, also. Anna m. Johann (John L.) Karels, a brother to her sister's husband, in 1857 at Shakopee, Scott Co., MN. John L. was b. Feb. 1, 1833, at Wahl, Luxembourg. He d. Mar. 20, 1905 and was buried at Waconia, Carver Co., MN. Anna and John L. had 14 children, the oldest of whom, was my great-grandfather.

There was another Flamm who settled in Yellowbank Township, Lac qui Parle County, near Rosen. John Flamm was b. Oct. 28, 1848 in Hungary, and I suspect he probably was a brother to the above two women, but I have no definite proof, as yet. John Flamm d. May 24, 1890 and was buried at Yellowbank Township's E.U.B. Cemetery, just outside of Odessa, MN. He m. Mary Brand on Nov. 15, 1879. Mary was b. about 1862 at Faribault, MN. I don't have her death date recorded. This couple had 5 children.

If any of this connects, please contact me.

Karel family of NYC, & MI looking for information..Fred, William, Nettie, Anna., Ruderic.

is4roots2 — 2003-09-07 22:39:44Z

Looking for information on the following people:
Fred Karel, born Feb 1882, son of "Antonia" (Antoinette) maiden name Pekarek. He is listed on the 1900 census. His mother Antonia Pekarek came to this country on 16 Jan 1872 on the ship Donau at the age of 17.
She is listed on the ship's passenger listing as a 'farmer".
Antonia's nickname was "Nettie" and she was widowed by 1890. Her husband was William Karel (known as Waclar or Waclen Karela-Karel) from Nadrib, Bohemia.
Antonia had 5 children:
I only have listed 4 children:
1.Anna or Annie, my gg mother, born in 1875, married Jacob Dippel in NYC . Anna (Karel) Dippel died in 1952 buried at Calvary Cemetery in Woodside, Queens, NY.

2. Ruderic Karel.. b.? have nothing on him. He is listed in the 1880 census. I can't find a birth certificate on this guy.
Died?

3. William Karel, son of William Karel and Antonia Karel. In 1930 is at 71-11 Woodside Avenue in Queens Borough.
His mother Antonia, mother of Fred, Anna, Nettie (age 20 in 1880 census born Apr 1880), was born Sep 8, 1854 in Bohemia and died at her son's home at 71-11 Woodside Avenue in Queens. Antonia is buried at Eveergreen Cemetery.
Antonia's father is Anton Pekarek.

4. Nettie Karel, born in 1880 don't know a thing about her.

5. Fred Karel is listed on the 1910 census, age 28 with wife Louisa age 21 and only married one year as of April 19, 1910 when the census was taken. Antonio (Antonia) his mother was age 54 then and living with the couple at 1637-24 Avenue A in Manhattan at the time. Fred is listed as a Railroad Engineer in the 1910 Census for NYC.
I'm taking a guess that Fred and Louisa had a son named Fred born on 20 Sep 1909 in NYC, died perhaps on 28 mar 1991 in Allendale, Michigan.
Anyone out there related to any of these folks?
thanks karen

tgoonan — 2002-05-17 23:38:04Z

Hello, I was curious if you had any other information about Mary Flamm. My great great grandmother had a sister Mary that was born in 1834, in Hungary. And was married to a Karels. Her parent's were Johannes Flamm and mother Mary or Anna. If this sounds familiar, would like to exchange information. Thank you, Tracy

Re: Mary Flamm

tgoonan — 2002-05-17 23:38:04Z

Hello, thank you for responding to my message. I had recently found where Anna and John Karels were buried. And was just looking into it, to make sure they were the right couple I was looking for. I knew that Anna was married to the brother of Nicholas Karels. So was really surprised by your message with all the info.
The John Flamm that you were talking about was the brother to Mary and Anna. I had come across the year that he was born as 1848 also. But he actually was born Oct.28,1843 and died May 24,1890. In the Lac qui Parle Co. death records stated he was 47 years at the time of his death. The marriage I have for John was to Mary Brand Nov.5,1879 in Big Stone City,S.D.
What I have for Johannes (John) Flamm born Aug.28/29,1812 and the death date for Mary and Anna's mother as March 2,1853 in Hungary.
My gg grandmother was Rosella Flamm, by John's 2nd marriage. If you'd like to contact me, my email is tgoonan1@juno.com
