SPECHT posted by Duane Anderson on Monday, April 3, 2000

Joe Specht at Anoka, Boyd County. There was a Joe Specht that lived his life in Anoka. I am fairly sure there was a Knievel connection. I would have a little information and I think I could put you in contact with someone who would know more.

Henry Leppens (Lappen--there are various spellings) and his wife Allegonda VanDommelen were in Boyd County by 1870. Allegonda was born 20 Dec 1832 in the Netherlands, married in Little Chute, Wisconsin. I am seeking her date of death. The family was Catholic. She died, I believe, around 1900.

BULIN, KOLAR posted by Barbara Kolar Bergstrom on Tuesday, June 20, 2000

My grandfather was Joseph Kolar (born 3/10/83 and died 8/01/53) to Karl & Katherina Kolar in Blatna, Bohemia. Joseph had a brother James and sisters Anna Dlouhy (New York) and Mary Jirovec. Joseph came through Ellis Island (I have a copy of his passport) in 1904 on the ship Bremen. After some time spent in New York working as a cobbler, he came to Exeter, NE and worked on a farm owned by John Kusha. His parent's address as noted on the back of a picture: Karl Kolar, Malkov, LynarC(?)4 T.P. Blatna, Bohemia. I don't know what part is street, town, state or providence. I don't know anything about his sisters or their families either. I do know that Joseph married Justina Francis Bulin (born 10/03/01 - died 3/3/96) in June, 1926 in Nebraska. She was born in Gladstone, NE and was about 20 years younger than Grandpa. When I came along they were living on a farm south of Monowi, NE in Boyd County. Any information anybody may have would be greatly appreciated.

GRAY, HOTALING posted by Frank Hotaling on Monday, June 26, 2000

in response to Centennial Book, posted by Dona on Fri, 21 Apr 2000
Dona, I may have written back to you before I do not remember and all my e mail correspondence got lost on one of my goofs. If I did, please ignore this message. The book you mention History of Naper Boyd County NE does it have anything on a James or George Hotaling? Both homesteaded there while the area was still in Holt County the early 1880s. James moved about 1886 to Grand Junction. George either sold or donated part of his land to form the town of Naper. Both are buried in the Butte Cemetery. I am really trying to find information on one of James' wives Cassie Gray, my grandmother. They were married in Grand Junction in January 1889 and she died about 1896 three years after my father was born. Any information at all will be appreciated. Thanks in advance Frank Hotaling
