My grand parents emmigrated to Chicago, Illinois, USA in the 1890's from Bohemia as stated on U.S. census records. I am searching for a location in the Czech Republic that they might have come from. There may have been two brothers that emmigated in the same time frame. They would have been born in 1860 or 1861. One would have been named James(Vaclav?) the other name Frank.
The Ellis Island Museum of Immigration http://www.ellisisland.org/default.asp has only one record related to your query - Augustin Pichlik from Strakonice, town at south Bohemia. Unfortunately he came at 1906. Do you know how your g-parents came? Also help if you mention whole names of grand parents. Karel
