This is my Dad's grandfather, I know very little about him. What I do know is strictly from research. I do know that Joseph was a blacksmith and worked for a company that made "coaches". I also know he emigrated here when he was 18. My dad talked about his grandfather a lot more than his own father. I have no information on any relatives he had here in the United States or left behind in Bohemia.
