I have been blessed with wonderful ancestors who came to America beginning in 1894 from Slovakia (then Hungary) and the Czech Republic (then the Bohemia part of Austria). This is the story of those four brave men and women who took a risk to improve their chances for a good life in America. It is also the story of their descendents. The story is not complete. Some lines of the Zitek, Vitek, Malina, and Dianis family are missing.  If you are a Trapp, Vitek, Malina, Dianis, or Zitek family member or descendent, please contact me so we can pursue the possibility of our being related.
