KRETSCHMANN'S FROM BOHEMIA
Seeking information on any members of the Kretschmann family from Meistersdorf, Austria (Bohemia), now call Mistrovice, Czech Republic. This was a family of glass engravers, glass blowers, and painters. Members include Adolf b. 1871 who immigrated to Corning, NY, and became well known for his glass engraving. His brother Emil, b. 1878 who immigraged to Taunton, MA and then Pawtucket, RI, was a Dresden painter and worked in the jewelry industry in Attleboro, MA. I am looking for information on possibly three other brothers, two of whom were suppose to have been actors in London.Some other names include an uncle Hermann, who resided in London, another uncle Friedolin, who also lived in London but came to US to engrave glass, Adolf's father Franz, and two uncles Anton & Josef. Any information on this family would be helpful.
