I got a message from Mick with information about Maria Racz from Vysoka, born 1884.It sounds very much like she is the right one, although her US naturalization says her birthdate was Sept 8, 1883, but her marriage certificate says 1884.And the parent's names match the marriage certificate.We do know that she had a brother Jacob F. Raca, and he was born about 1886, apparently in Toryza.They also had sisters Agnes and Elizabeth.
Zlatica did some lookups on Ellis Island.I had started searching that site and came up with some of the names he did.I have no knowledge of any brothers other than Jacob, but there may have been others.I did find a Marie Racin of Bohemia who came over in 1901 on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, age 16, from Hryuzel.My Mary's naturalization said she came on Kaiser Wilhelm in 1902, when she would have been 18.Close?
I also found several Josef Kasak, Kascek, Kascsak and kascsik that could be our Joseph, but none quite fits right.We don't think he was ever married in the old country.Still confusing.
Thanks again,
Bob
