I hope this answer is read, after many years ... Bozena (Bessie) Hoskovec was sister of my grandmother. She came with her other siblings to America and married John Anton Smid. The family Hoskovec came from Bohemia(formerly Austria about 1900).
My grandmother Zofie (Sophia) Hoskovec was born May 02/1902 (father Josef Hoskovec - he was professionally blacksmith in Bohemia and had 9 or 10 children). My 2 grand aunts were also members of my family in the Czech Republic - both born Hoskovec. My grandmother died in Czech Republic, was 84 years old. I would be glad to get more information,
many thanks in advance...

Hi, Looking for info on my great grandparents Joseph and Frances Smid (Sporcel/Sporcel/Stajskal). They married in Chicago, Il in 1895. Both were widowers with children. Talk about blended families...her, mines and ours totaled over 11 children. My grandmother Ella Smid was the baby of the family.

In the 1910 Federal Census (under Smith not Smid) they list their nationality as German Bohemians. He is listed as immigrating in 1884. Joseph was born circa 1862 and was a carpenter while Frances ran a storefront grocery store on Grand Ave. in Chicago. My mother (Alice Penkava Roundy) lived and played there often as child.

I am interested in finding more info on his or her immigration and where he/she may have immigrated from in Bohemia (circa 1884). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can be contacted at shardog1@att.net
Thanks,

Re: Smid family

I believe the name Smid is a form of the Bavarian forest
name Schmid, which is in normal German Schmidt.
There were many Smids who left Bohemia, some went to Oshkosh,Wis. some went to Nebraska, some went to Minneapolis. If you go type in Oshkosh southside highholders into a google search, it will take you to the Highholder web page. There you will find maps,and lists of
names of people who came to America,from the border regions of Bavaria/Bohemia.

John Anton Smid from Bohemia / Nebraska

Hello! I am trying to find further information about my great-grandfather, John Anton Smid. Here's what I know so far: He was born in Bohemia, and immigrated to US / Nebraska (?) around 1906. He was married and had two children John or Joseph, and Vlasta, who may have eventually came to US also. He married Bozena "Bessie" Hoskovec 7-4-1910 in Nebraska, and had three children: Emilie (my grandmother), Georgina, and Otto. He died in August of 1922. If you have any information on him, or his family, I would appreciate it! Thank you in advance!

I am still looking for information on my great grandfather, John Anton Smid. What I know is that he was born in 1866 in Bohemia - married to 1st wife about 1893 and had two children - names possibly Joseph and Vlasta. He married my great grandmother, Bessie (Bozena) Hoskovec in Nebraska in 1910 and had 3 children: Emilie (my grandmother), Georgina, and Otto. He was a painter, and died in Omaha in 1922. I have nothing on his other two children, or his parents, etc. My mother thinks my grandmother had told her that his other two children had moved to Florida, and possibly eventually returned to Czech. Thank you!

I know this is a long shot, but there is a Haskovec? (Hoskovec) listed in 1900 Appling County, Georgia Census.Husband- Vasclov,36, born Austria,Wife-Agnes,20,born Austria,Son,Premysal, 5m, born Ga. (This is a rural farming community.) My Grandaddy, Henry Joseph Smith, born-2-13-1870,died-5-26-1912, came from Austria(Bohemia), and settled in this area of Georgia in 1885. Only other family shown as being from Austria,(Bohemia) are a Kodate Family. I have'nt been able to find Grandaddy's given Bohemian Surname.(know it's not Smith) Could be Smid or Kovar. We do know he came from the Kutna Hora area of Bohemia. It just seems like there has to be a connection with these families, since this is such a rural area of Georgia. And Families usually settled together.
