    • Notes 
      • For years, we had incorrectly included Emma Tomek as the wife to Anton Louis Blecha (1885-1918). However, this Emma Tomek actually was the wife of Rudolph Blecha (1889-1942) son of Adolf Blecha (b. 1869).
      • Ancestry.com Family Trees, information posted by Carol KOVARIK WEST.


        In a 1903 Chicago marriage announcement, there is a listing for a John C. Blecha to Emma Pachihofar or Pachlhofar Age: 24-19.

        However, from an obituary for Joseph Tomek, it lists Emma Blecha as his sister. His wife was Mary Valvoda.

      • I had thought that Emma had remarried to Clyde Thompson in 1921, but later decided that it wan another Emma Blecha. I still have Clyde Thompson in the genealogy. I have later concluded that the Emma Blecha, who married Clyde Thompson, was the widow of Anton Louis Blecha, Emma Zitek.
