My father, Frank Brabec, left Bohemia just after the turn of the century...in fact, he just barely escaped being involved in WWI, since he had first moved to Germany. I will have to get back to you regarding where he was born, I have that somewhere. My mother was born just outside of Prague and left about the same time my dad did, although they had not yet met. I know that my dad had a couple of brothers, but they did not come over with him. His father came over, but returned to Europe. I never really found out much about my dad's family.
