The Chodove People

I am the granddaughter of Alexander Sim, son of Alexander Sim (b 1866) and Margaret J Walker.
Used to live in Sarnia, On, now in Texas until we sell and move back north.

Any info you have about the confusing Alexanders will be gratefully received/

I have always been told that our ancestors in Domalize were decendents of Jan Sladky, but have never been able to verify this information.

My family spoke Czech, but I do not as I was to be "an American" as my father and cousins did not learn English until they entered kindergarden.

Any information regarding Jan Sladky or the Kozina family still in Czech would be greatly appreciated.

I do have postcards & several wooden plates with Jan Sladky Kozina with his dog & staff, much like his monument on them.
My aunts/uncles traveled to Czech in the 1950s and then later in the 1980s to the Novy Bydzov area where my grandmother was born.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am the wife of a Chod descendant. The great grandfather, Kellner, was born coming over to Canada. Born at sea. The son, was born in Gerald, and his son, was also born there. My father in law, George, migrated East to Ontario. Settled there and had 7 children. the youngest son, Edward, is my husband. He in turn migrated East to Nova Scotia through his joining the Navy. and here he stays!

I am also the mom to 2 wonderful Chod descendants......
