Rock where Joe's
10th
Great Grandparents Landed
We have had an interest in researching our family history for many years. It is a fascinating hobby ... much like reading a never ending mystery novel. At each turn, as you find the details of another ancestor, the question immediately arises ... "who were their parents?". Joe has used the home computer to keep track of his ancestors for almost 30 years.
Joe's 7th GGrandmother, Mary Barrett DYER, was the Quaker Martyr, hanged in Boston in 1660 for preaching her Quaker beliefs. Joe's PECHOUŠEK ancestors immigrated in the late 1800's from Bohemia in the Austro-Hungarian Empire from what is now the Czech Republic. Another branch immigrated to the Ukraine about the same time. Other PECHOUŠEK relatives escaped communist Czechoslovakia during the Prague Spring in the late 1960's, immigrating to Canada. Joe has done considerable on-line research using the Czech State Archives. These records are actual images of original Baptism, Marriage, and Death records in Latin, German or Czech. He has traced the PECHOUŠEK family back to the early 1700's in Bohemia only to find out that his 5th Great Grandparents were NOT named PECHOUŠEK. However, they lived on the PECHOUŠEK farm so named their children PECHOUŠEK!
