Nancy,Thank you for your reply.My Frank Novotny (born 1886) attended Catholic school in Bohemia leaving school in the second grade to work in the coal mines and eventually saved enough money to come to the U.S. about 1902 when he was sixteen years old.Frank and his wife Mary Hof(f)reiter (born 18981) each vowed to bring a sibling to the U.S.He brought his brother Charles Novotny; she brought her brother Frank Hofreiter.Does this look promising?
There may be a connection here (I hope so).They were both miners.However, as I understand, Novotny is a most common name so I will have to do more work here.
