Re: Dvorak-Frank, Musil-Mary, Manitowoc County WI to Green Bay WI

Hi Samuel,

There were quite a few Dvoraks who settled in the Manitowoc & Kewaunee County area around 1856 or so. There was Frank, Jacob, John, Albert, Alfred, Joseph,Mathew, Wenzel. I think they must have been brothers, cousins, uncles.

There are so many Dvoraks who settled in that little area around Francis Creek and Carleton.Do you think there is anyone who is an expert on sorting out all the Dvoraks in that little area, and how they were related, if at all? I have been gathering records of all of them as I find them, hoping to some day get a handle on it.

I have some updated info on my Dvorak family.
Martin and Barbara Dvorak were parents of my Frank Dvorak - Frank was born in 1819. He may have come from the Tabor District of South Bohemia, possibly from around Chrbonin, Choustnik, Radenin, or Nuzbely or that area. Frank immigrated in 1856, applied for naturalization in Manitowoc County. In 1859 he married Maria Mussel/Musil in the town of Franklin in Kewaunee County.

1860 census shows my Frank & Mary Dvorak living next door to Jacob & Barbara Dvorak and down the road from John & Catherine Dvorak, all in the township of Carlton, Kewaunee County. Brothers?

By the way, I am from Green Bay, your near neighbor.
