The following information was provided by John Pavelka, gggrandson of
passengers
Johann and Marie Pavelka. They emigrated from near Chocen, which is in
the
Vysoke Myto region of eastern Bohemia in Czechoslovakia. Johann was born
26 April
1824. Barbara Pavelka is Johann's mother, and she was 89 at the time of
this voyage
rather than 59 as is written on the passenger list. She lived to be 106
years old.
Young Marie is Johann's daughter as is Catherine Kaiserlik, and Franz
Kaiserlik is
his grandson. Anna is Johann's aunt. The family travelled directly to
Chatfield,
Minnesota, which is located in Phillmore County, arriving there 23
November 1870.
Johann's son Frantisek Pavelka and his wife Frances Bezdechek Pavelka
also emigrated
to Chatfield, Minnesota. They arrived several weeks earlier on another
ship. Please

Pavelka
family.

If you find an ancestor on a ship on ISTG and would like to link to your email address or home page, please submit a short paragraph about the passenger, where settled, children, etc., with the name of the ship and date of arrival, and send to the transcriber at the bottom of the manifest or to the ISTG Production Coordinator.
We strive to make your search productive. If you don't find the passenger list you are looking
