Now for a little history...
The History of the GREGOR’S
This page of information was taken from a Family Register I (Randy Haibeck) received from my uncle LeRoy Gregor which was first put together by a relative of ours, Joan Hermel.
Many thanks to her for starting this register.She has put together about 800 names and I have since added about 500 more.
Joseph Gregor was born and lived his entire life in Michelsdorf (now Ustrov), Bohemia.At this time, nothing is known of his life other than that he worked the farms during his lifetime and died as a result of alcoholism in 1883.About 1857, he married Anna Artz, who was born November 1, 1838, in Michelsdorf.To this union were born seven children, Joseph (6/12/1858), Edward (2/17/1861), Frank (4/18/1865), Benjamin (2/22/1871), Amelia (5/26/1872), Anna (1879) and Rudolph (6/20/1882).
Joseph, Edward, and Ben were the first to come to America in approximately 1884.Edward was already married to Rosa Janisch in Lanskroun.After a short period of time in America, they sent money for more of the family to come.We do not, as of today, know the exact order of arrival, but it is thought the next in line were Frank, who was already married in Lanskroun to Mary Miller, and Amelia.Rosa, her nine month old baby, Edward Jr, and Mary came to America next, after their husbands.Their mother, Anna, her daughter Anna (19), and son Rudolph (16) came in 1898.
Some of the information in the register is incomplete.Hopefully, in the near future, it will be completed and we may also gain knowledge of relatives even further back than we now have.I have already written to Vienna, Austria for records, but they could be of no help.Michelsdorf is now under Russian control, and any records are extremely difficult to obtain.
We apologize for any errors in the register.They are certainly not intentional.Please bear with us.Thank you and we do hope you receive much enjoyment knowing who your relatives are.For the record, there are approximately 1340 names listed.
Thanks to all who so willingly furnished us with family data and for the use of family pictures and obituaries.Without your help, this register would not have been possible.
