Karl was my husband's grandfather. The family believes he was a landowner in Czech. in the 1880's. His properties were taken by the German Govt thus he came to the US. His name was changed to Charles; he had three sons, as for as I know, and died in MO in 1942.
Any one with any info about the European ancestors (including Karl) and/or family connections in the U.S. please contact me. Anything would be helpful.
