My father was born and raised on a farm between Ohiowa, Geneva, and Milligan, Nebraska. His father was Anton Kuska and his mother was Alzabetha (Kolar) Kuska. They came from the village of Malkov Lnarsky which is southwest of the city of Blatna, in the Czech Republic. The earliest picture that I am aware of is: Kuska Family in 1885. The Kuska family history is the result of record keeping and gathering by a number of the Kuska clan over several generations (i.e. I am not the sole nor even the major source for the information presented here).
My mother was born and raised on a farm near Phillips, Wisconsin. Her father was John Hrouda and her mother was Barbora (Loula) Hrouda. They also came from the Blatna region (Holusice - John; and Pole - Barbara). The earliest picture that I am aware of is: Hrouda Family in 1915
