I am researching GABRIEL POKORNY who first turned up in the 1858 NYC directory and later on the 1870 NYC census as residing at 71 Clinton Street NYC. He arrived with his family from Bohemia in 1853-54. At the time of arrival family included wife ANTOINE (ANNA) and two children ANNA (born in Bohemia in 1851 and FRANK an infant. They later had three more children born in NYC. Clara born in 1854, EMMA born 1856 and EDWARD born 1860. The 1870 census shows GABRIEL'S profession as a "wood turner". He died on May 3rd 1883 apparently as a result of a heart attack. According to the death certificate he dropped dead on the street at 169 East 4th at about 5 a.m. from "exhaustion as a result of diseased heart valve". Also seeking information on a JOHN PIRNER born in Bohemia Oct. 7th 1854 came to this country before 1877 and married EMMA POKORNY. Their first child JOHN FRANK PIRNER was born Feb.2, 1880. At that time they resided at Franklin Ave. in the Bronx. They had 7 other children ANTON (born Sept.1881) EDWARD (born June 1883) EMMA born (April 1886) ANNA (born Aug. 1887) JENNIE (born Jan. 1889) and CHARLES (born March 1900). JOHN had a brother FRANK PIRNER also born in Bohemia who also was listed in the 1880 census and resided at 1343 Third Ave. Bronx. JOHN's profession was "cigarmaker". They later resided on Blackrock Ave. in the Bronx. Also searching KVITSKY-SCHMIDTMEYER FAMILY. JOHN SCHMIDTMEYER married MARY (SKIRTA) KVITSKY in Bohemia. They arrived in the US late summer of 1854-55 aboard a ship called the FULDA. With them were JOHN's Stepchildren, ZDENKA (JENNIE) KVITSKY born 3/2/1875, EMMA KVITSKY born 8/30/68, RUZENA (ROSE) KVITSKY born 3/31/1873 and ZDENEK (SIDNEY) KVITSKY born 3/25/1871 and their two daughters ANNA SCHMIDTMEYER born 6/11/1881 and MARY (MAE) SCHMIDTMEYER born 8/30/1883 and who married JOHN PIRNER. |
