Description
Book Synopsis: Join me for a family saga spanning five centuries in the ancient land of Bohemia. It’s a tale of love and war. Lords and serfs. Death and disease. Mix in some lust and betrayal. Adventure and sacrifice. Hitler’s vengeance and Czechoslovakia’s brutal Communist regime. This is the true story of one family—the Matuskas—from the 1600s until today. Those who came to America and those who stayed behind.
The story begins in the rolling, forested hills of South Bohemia where castles dot the landscape and two young serfs, Mandalena and Bartolomej, agreed to a marriage in the year 1603. Thousands of people living today can trace their roots back to this young couple who farmed in a small village south of Prague. I’m one of them, but for most of my life I had no idea.
Few of us really know our family history. Few of us realize what an incredible adventure awaits us if we just take the time to do a little digging. This is the story of my family’s journey to find our ancestors and our Bohemian past.
And the many surprises revealed along the way.
★ Includes photos of the small farming village of Jetetice and lineage charts tracing all known Matuska immigrants back to the 1600s
