Re: James or Jim LISKA

2005-11-05 01:07:53Z

Check at your local public library if they have free access to any online services which allow you to look at US census enumerations. You will want to carefully look at Hancock County, Iowa - Garfield township in the 1900 US census. Liska and Che.... (whatever their names were, I forget now)
I think that James Liska entry in the 1900 census shows a couple of brothers and his mother living with him and listed as a widow, so his father may have already died..
Take a magnifying glass if you have to.

Re: James or Jim LISKA

2005-11-05 01:07:14Z

You'll also find a family 'Chesek' or 'Chesik' in that same Iowa county in the 1900 US census and they have a daughter of marriagable age named Anna.
The marriage records for 1873-1930 of Hancock County Iowa have been copied to microfilm by the LDS Family History Library and you can order and use those at any nearby LDS Family History Center.

2005-11-05 01:06:41Z

Your posting is almost impossible to read. All capital letters is like shouting - and the lack of punctuation is completely baffling. This probably does not encourage others to respond.

There is an unmarried James Liska living in Hancock Co. Iowa in the 1900 US census. Listed as born about 1876-77 - parents from Bohemia. That census also indicates two older Liskas in other Iowa counties who list their birthplaces as Bohemia - perhaps one of those is James' father?

Frank Liska b.1883, wife Carrie Wells, b. 1893, lived Richland Co., WI

MRice9253 — 2006-06-30 03:31:55Z

I have an original studio photograph of the wedding of “Frank and Carrie Liska”, which I would like to get back to family members. Photo was taken in about 1915, in Hillsboro (Vernon Co.) WI, and she looks early 20s and he about late 20s..

I found Frank and Carrie in the 1930 census for Bloom (Richland Co.) WI. He was Frank W., age 46 (married at age 29) and she was Carry M., age 36 (married at age 20). Living with them were his father in law Milton Wells and mother in law “Naome” Wells.
Milton Wells, born May 1868 OH, and wife Naomi, born Oct 1875 WI, lived in Bloom Co. (Richland Co.) WI, with daughters in 1900 census for Bloom (Richland Co.) WI. Daughter “Cara” was age 6, born Sep 1893.

MRice9253 — 2006-06-30 03:28:07Z

I have two original studio photographs of Liska sisters, which I would like to get back to family members. Photo of “Cousin Martha Liska” was taken about 1905 and she looks about age 18. Photo of “Cousin Jennie Liska” was taken about 1920 and she looks about age 20.

I found Martha and Jennie in the 1910 census of Greenwood (Vernon Co.) WI, as daughters of Blosko and Katie Liska. Martha was age 23 and Jennie was age 11. WI birth records show Martha was born Richland Co., WI in Jan 1887, and Jennie was born same county in Feb 1899.

MRice9253 — 2006-06-30 03:26:07Z

I have two original studio photograph of “Edwin and Anna Liska” and of “Clara Liska”, which I would like to get back to family members. Photo of Edwin & Anna which looks as if it was of both of them at graduation, was taken in about 1915 (or a year either way), in Hillsboro (Vernon Co.) WI, and Edwin looks to be about age 20 while Anna is about age 18. The photo of Clara Liska was taken in Poynette (Columbia Co.) WI in about 1910-1912, and she looks about early 20s.

I found all three in the 1900 census for Henrietta (Richland Co.) WI, as children of James and Annie Liska. Clara A. is listed DOB of Apr 1890, Edwin’s DOB was Mar 1894 and Annie’s DOB was Jul 1896. By 1910, James’s name is listed as Vaclav Liska. SSDI shows that Edwin was born 31 Mar 1894 and died 1970 in Cudahy (Milwaukee Co.) WI.

Tracing Frank Liska family

I have very little information about the Liska family. My mother's maiden name was Liska. Her father Frank Liska (immigrated from Bohemia, mother Mary (Dremsa) Liska. If anyone has any information about the Liska family, please e-mail me.

Re: Dremsa family

Kadlecek — 2006-08-03 02:39:42Z

Thanks for the reply about the Dremsa family. My grandmother was Mary Dremsa--married Frank Liska. As nearly as I can tell, she came to Nebraska from somewhere east--possible the upper midwest (Illinois, Michigan etc.) From that point I have little information. I'd love to contact your aunt with the Dremsa family tree to see if there is a possible connection. My e-mail is keceldak@hotmail.com.

Albert and Anna, and their family, can be found in the 1870, 1880, and 1900 Census for Greenwood Township, Vernon County, Wisconsin. They were married circa 1863. Albert died in 1917 and Anna in 1920. They arrived here June 14, 1860, Baltimore, Ship Schiller, with the rest of this Liska family.

Elmer Liska - St. Louis, MO - circa 1933 - 1956

hetaerae_1 — 2006-04-25 05:26:14Z

Looking for information on Elmer Liska, listed in several obituaries as "Elmer Kircher" -

Obituary of Anna (Cook) Kircher, d. 1933 - listed as "foster child, Elmer Liska"

Obituary of Edward J. Kircher (son of Anna), d. 1946 - listed as "dear brother, Elmer Kircher"

Obituary of Josephine Kircher Rudroff (Rudolph) Routledge (daughter of Anna), d. 1953 - listed as "dear brother, Elmer Kircher"

Obituary of Margaret Kircher Becker (daughter of Anna), d. 1956 - listed as "dear brother, Elmer Kircher"

Obituary of Louis Kircher (son of Anna), d. 1956 - listed as "dear brother, Elmer Kricher"

Not found in any of the censuses with the Kircher family in St. Louis - 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930, so am assuming he came to live with Anna (Cook) Kircher after the 1930 census (04/08/1930) and before her death on 03/01/1933.

Lynda, I am a Liska as well. Your Grandfather Joseph was my uncle. My father was his brother John. Their mother was Alma Anna Werner. Her parents were Charles Werner and Martha Kimme. They were both from Germany but lived in Chicago. There she met and married your great grandfather Peter Liska. He was born in Illinois in 1881. They were married in Chicago the 28th of January 1904. Peter had several brothers. They were James, John, and Joseph. I don't know if they had any other siblings. I hope this will help.

My wife has a family line of Liskas and I am stuck. I read this email and it got my mind moving again. The last line I have is a Karol Liska (1870-1941) that was thought to be born in Poland and a Mary Hujous (1875-1947). I know they moved to America. They left a George there. Could this be in this line? I do have other names in the tree as well.

Re: Alois Liska

ingletg — 2007-05-20 23:37:13Z

I am helping a friend look for her LISKA ancestors and am wondering if there could be a connection. She has a Louis Liska born 1856 in Pilsen, Austria, died 1931 in Chicago, Illinois. He married Josephine Chamtova 1883 in Chicago. They have one child - Anna - born 1898 although there may very well have been more. Could these be the same people, or related somehow? Could your Alois Liska be her Louis Liska, and your Josefa Chamra be her Josephine Chamtova? I know immigrants often "Americanized" all or part of their names and this could account for the variances. If you think there may be connection, I would love to hear from you!
