Note for: Vojtech Vlasaty, - AFT. DEC 1900 Index
from Lester E. Stybr notes: Albert was a Commission Merchant in meat. He
and Anna had a large home in Pisek, CZ with its own abattoir (slaughter
house) and cooling rooms (cellar) cut into the rock. According to their
daughter Marie Katerina Johanna, the walls were three feet thick and of
rock.
Vojtech is listed as Miles Stybr's godfather in December 1900. This would
help to prove that he did in fact immigrate with his daughters and was
still alive in 1900.

Anton and his family left from the port of Hamburg German aboard the
steam ship "Columbia" in late September or early October 1891. The
Columbia stopped in Southampton England but then landed in New York City
on 26 October, 1891. On the passenger manifest, Anton was listed with his
wife Josephine and sons Ladislav and Joseph (passengers 88-91). They
listed Chynava, Bohemia as their hometown, Chicago was their destination
and the trip was in fact for the purposes of immigration, not a visit.
They traveled in steerage compartment B and had three pieces of luggage
between them.

she commenced her first voyage from Genoa to Naples and New York and made
several further winter voyages on this route. Her last Hamburg -
Southampton - New York sailing commenced on 14/10/1897 and in 1898 she

Still haven't been able to find Anton in the 1900 census. I did a soundex
search of Illinois census and found some Anton's but not this Anton. I
also couldn't find a Josephine or Joseph. Had he gone to Wisconsin?
