Adolf, my 2X Great Grand Father was born in Dubi, Bohemia, Czech on 1823 as a first child of 7.

Based on his Marriage Record i found here, Adolf Gross was married to Cäcilia König in Prague, May 1st 1870. The wedding was witnessed by Markus Gross and Ignaz Gross (no proof yet, but i think Ignaz was our relative).

Cäcilia was born in Raudnitz, Bohemia, Czech on February 24th 1846 to Josepin Goppert. I can’t read her father’s name, looks like Moritz König but i’m not sure yet. I found her birth record here and here.

The couple had 1 son, Emil Gross (I) , which is my Great Grand Father. Emil Gross (I) was born in Prague, on April 7th 1871.

Sadly, i found Cäcilia König’s death record here. She passed away because of Typhus in Humpolec on February 16th 1875, when Emil Gross (I) was only 4 years old. I’m still researching where she was buried.

Adolf Gross did not remaried after he lost Cäcilia König. He passed away in Dubi, Bohemia, Czech on July 28 1898 because of Chronic Kidney Disease.

Markus Gross, is my 3X Great Father.

Based on those records i found, he was born in Vilemov, Bohemia, Czech in 1802.  His Parents are still unknown until i type this. But i will update later, when i found any information about them.

Markus Gross was married to Veronika Fischer who was born in 1804, and passed away in Humpolec, June 6th 1888.

They had 7 children :

  1. Adolf Gross (1823 – 1898)

How many Surnames do you have in your Family ? How many did you meet in person ?

Here are (so far) Surnames of my Mother’s side Family :

  • Gross     – Main Surname of my Mother’s Paternal family
  • Hamšik – Main Surname of my Mother’s Maternal family
  • Fischer  – My 3X Great Grand Mother’s Family Surname
  • König     – My 2X Great Grand Mother’s Family Surname
  • Kovar     – My 3X Great Grand Father’s Family Surname
  • Řiha       – My 3x Great Grand Father’s Family Surname
  • Ebr          – My Great Uncle in Law’s Family Surname
  • Hahn      – My 3X Great Uncle in Law’s Family Surname
  • Goppert – My 3X Great Grand Mother’s Family Surname

I might write some more Surnames after i dig deeper into my Family History. But so far these are the Surnames from those records i found.

I only got the chance to meet my Grand Mother, Vera Grossová (born Hamšiková). And she passed away when i was 8 years old. Not so many special memories shred, since she lived in Czech, and i lived in Indonesia. But having some pictures with her give me a warm feeling inside.

Welcome , Thanks for joining Our Family Genealogy Journey..

 

3 Generation Picture
My Grand Mother Vera Hamsikova, My Mother Vera Grossova, My Father Oemardi, and Little Me.

 

Shortly after my Father passed away on March 2018, i started to think.
Who i really am.
All i know about my Father’s Parents are only their names and graves.
No picture, no stories, nothing.
And to make it worst, there are no Online Records in Indonesia (yet).
He was the 3rd child or 4, and the last one who deceased.
So as he passed away, the Living Library was gone.

So i thought, i better leave his family behind for now, and start with my Mother’s family.

I’m not a Genealogist.
I’m really new with this.
But if no one from my family ever had a Family Bible, or willing to look for any information about our Ancestors, i think this is the good time for me to start.

My kids should know their Family History. And so they can tell it to their children, grand children, and hopefully, to my next descendants.

I have to preserved Our Family History.
