Researching Princl and Krejci

Posted In
Description

I am researching my ancestors who came to Manitowoc County,Wisconsin from Bohemia in the 1800’s.

Anna Krejci (nee Huroba) came in 1854 with sons Ignatz, Mathias, Johann and Paul from Zatec via Hamburg to Castle Garden on the ship Elise.

George Princl and family came from the Pilsen area via Bremen to Baltimore in 1876 with his son, George, his wife Magdalena (Toupal) and their children, Anna, age 9 1/2 and son, Mathias, age about 7. Anna Princl Krejci was my grandmother.

I’d be delighted to hear from anyone who might have any additional information!

Hi J.T. Maybe Krejči = Kretche?

Google search: ‘kretche vernon county wisconsin’.

Im not closely related and dont have much info on that name. Robert J. Kretche has written and published some of his research. There are also online cemetary listings for Vernon County and Richland County where you can find some Kretche’s.

Thank you! It’s been a really long time since I’ve been on this web site, and so did not see your information. There are countless variations of the spelling of Krejci!!! Every clerk and census taker must have had their own spelling.
