In reply to:
Frank C & wife Maelle Novak Grand Rapids MI
Sally Towers 2/05/10
was Kim(Michelle Pauline) Novak's grandfather, from Prague?
Bohemis. Frank jr's older brother, Kim's father, was Joseph,
bn 1897 in Chicago. Older brothers & sisters of Frank, sr
were born in Chicago, younger ones born in Scappoose, OR...
However, one of the Censuses show Frank, jr born in South
Dakota??? I question this since Frank sr & wife Paulina'
Pawlina, were married in Chicago around 1894/5 and moved to
Scappoose, OR sometime between 1905-1908 as sons,Fred,James,
& George, Edward were born 1908 to 1921! I still can't nail down the exact town in Bohemia Frank sr came from..possibly
Prague/Praha city itself?? Of course, the name Frank was
probably Czech "Francisek" or a variant of such!! Kim Novak'
s mother was Blanche, father Joseph, both born in Illinois.
What was their church in Chicago? And why did Frank, sr go
to the "boonies" of Scappoose? Even this name would scare off most people!!
