Vraspir Family
My ancestors on my father's side all came from South Bohemia near Policka.The main towns are Teleci, Oldris, Borova, and Stary Kamenec.The names or my great grandparents are Rousar, Feltl, Fajmon and Lorenc.I have been to the area twice.My great grandfather Josef Rousar and family came to the Hopkins, Minnesota area in 1887 and 1888.Our farm was next to the farm owned by Vincent Vraspir and his son Veleslav.My father says that Vincent came as a boy. He limped because of an injury he had as a child.He was a carpenter.His son Veleslav and wife Wilma farmed the farm.
I have done quite a bit of research on family history.One of my great, great, great grandmothers was Josefa Vraspir, daughter of Josef Vraspir and mother Veronika, daughter of Vaclav Holc, a farmer in Oldris.She was born in Teleci and was 25 when she married Josef Dvorak in Borova in 1831.I have and Evangelical church register from Teleci from 1795 and it lists 5 Vraspir families in the town.
