My DVORAK line begins with Jan Georg DVORAK comming from somewhere in Bohemia around 1871 and going to Cleveland, Ohio. George was born about 1848 in Bohemia. I have not found the names of his parents or any siblings. He married Rosarie Brabanec in Cleveland at St Wenseslaus Church in 1874. They had 5 children including my grandmother Mary DVORAK. Mary married August Emil Rath in 1911 in Cleveland. George DVORAK comitted suicide in March of 1896 in Cleveland, leaving my great grandmother Rosarie alone with 5 kids. She never remarried, and worked very hard to support the family.
