Hi,

My great great grandmother was named Eva Ciml. She came to Cleveland Ohio around 1881 from Bohemia with her daughter Marie. The family story has always been that Marie was illegitimate.

I knew for a long time that Eva Ciml (Cimmel) married a man named Joseph Kvetensky. I recently had access to census records and discovered that in 1900 there was a family of Cimls (father Ignac, mother Marie, daughters Sarah, Lillian, Anna, Rose, Veronika) living next door to Joseph Kvetensky at 126 Hamlet Ave. Cleveland. I deduce that the odds of this being a coincidence are astronomically small. The name Cimmel/Ciml is not very common. I am sure that Ignac is a relative of my GG Grandmother Eva's, probably her brother (age difference is 4 years). The daughters of Ignac and Marie ended up marrying a Fred Siekemeyer (Rose), Josef Klima (Veronika), Anton Viton (Lillian), don't know about Sarah, and I think Anna became a nun.

I'd appreciate any information anyone has on my Cimmels.
