Jindra Family Tree Roots and Branches

Thanks to Marilyn we have updated the Schmidt family history.

I added more information of the family including a page on the Schmidt Bros. Construction Co.

I added photos of the Schmidt Tombstones.  I will be adding more about the Schmidt children in the coming weeks.

I added several new sections today.  These sections are only a start at what is out there.  The sections added are Schmidt, Meineke, Gartz, and Radej.

Added a short entry on Violet and Mike Mirkes from Manitowoc County, WI.

Today I added the family histories of Harry and his wife Hazel (Heiland) Tuma and Rose Tuma and her husbands Edward Charles and Ambrose Dawson.

Harry and Rose are children of Anna (Jindra) Tuma

I added the history of Lillian (Tuma) Radej, child of Anna (Jindra) and Wenzel Tuma.

Dear Jindra relatives:

This is the new format for the Jindra family history that some of you have been sent before. It’s been put on a “blog” style website, which basically enables you to add your comments, stories and information to what has already been compiled. What this allows is for other branches of the family to add their own material also, and allows you to add material on your branch (including filling in info in between what we’ve already added).

You’ll notice some info already has been added. Several years ago, I had a Czech genealogy organization, Pathfinders, do a search on Jindra relatives in Bohemia, so the family has been traced back to the 1600s. Some of that info is reflected on the website. There will be more to come as time permits.

Ellen M. (Chaloupka) Rohr (a descendant of George Jindra Sr.) and an advanced genealogist, has put this material on the website (thanks!) and has added some of her family tree. The information on the George and Mary Lenhardt family tree was written by me based on interviews I’ve done over the last 15 ears.

It would be great if others added to our stories.  One or two things you remember or whole histories would be a great addition. We welcome your input,  but ask that you have permission of any living persons before you add their info online.
