I have information on Julius Klement who came to America with his family in 1880. They were from Bernhau, Austria, about 150 miles east of Prague. The village no longer exists, but was on the Oder River in what is now Czechoslovakia. With the help of a professional researcher in Austria, the Klements have been traced back to the late 1600's and early 1700's.
Julius brought his family to Texas and they settled in Milam County. Later a younger brother, Josef, joined Julius with his family. We know that Julius left several siblings in Austria and want to try to find any relatives descended down from them. If any other siblings came to America we are unaware of them. However we can not rule out the possibility given that there are a fair number of people with the same surname, but no connections to our family that we can determine.

If anyone has any information on this family, please contact me at: nank@uswest.net
