I am looking for any possible information about the marriage
of Anton Hohls and (unknown first name) Balvin(ova). I have very little to go on, Except for a reference to Mr. Hohls' parents-in-law, when they came to Ellis Island, New
York City, Anton Balvin and Josefa Hilska, of a community
that appears to be Predlrince (Breclrince), in then-Austria, (1911), Mr & Mrs Balvin stated that their nearest
relative in that old community was Anton Hohls, their son-in-law. I do know that Anton Balvin and Josefa Hilska had
4 children, according to the US Census of 1910. We, their
descendants can account for 3 children who immigrated to the USA, stayed here, and married here, and produced future
generations. But that leaves the fourth child, obviously a
daughter, who for a while at least, stayed in eastern Europe, with her husband, (and family?).
There have been previous posts, by myself, as well as
Dawn Hubner, and answered here, indicating that the spelling
is incorrect, or that a township of that name was incorporated into a larger community. I can only say that
I've given you what I and others have transcribed from the original US manifests, on the Ellis Island Record sites, so
hopefully, we can go beyond that.
If any one has any ideas where I might go for answers, to this perplexing issue, I would be most grateful. Otherwise I have to get out the Ouija board. Sorry, a small attempt at humor. Thank you in advance for any help.
Greg Balvin (gr-gr.grandson to Anton Balvin, and Josefa Hilska)
