rodokmen Chadimu.received Oct 20,2021 frm Pavel Chadima cc Martin,KHM.pdf
Note: Not confirmed as of May 25, 2002, but this family tree is very likely to contain ancentors of Franz J. Chadima (1825-1911),who emigrated likely from the Bohemian regions of Pardubice or Chrumec to USA. This tree is the latest version made by Martin Chadima of the Czeh Republic, over many years of work, including a research trip to Salt Lake City, Utah. KHM and VMU met Martin in Prague on May 2007. This tree was sent by his brother Pavel Chadima. |
