  BIOGRAPHY: From: Rita Mackin Fox [mailto:rfox58@alltel.net ]Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 5:38 PMTo: KYJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [KYJEFFER] SKROBANEK/1918I have a Skrobanek who married one of my Nichters. (I'm not a descendant ofthe Skrobaneks, but will share what little I have.) I couldn't find mySkrobaneks in the photo--except that Helen might have been named for myHelen Skrobanek Lawlor--but I think I'm a generation too early for thesegirls. Here's what I can share:Magdalene "Lena" Nichter (b. 24 Jan. 1861 in Louisville) m. John SarkanterSkrobanek (b. 16 March 1861, in Teschen, Schesian, Austria) on Thursday, 17May 1888, at 8:30 a.m. at St. Boniface Church in Louisville. (I actuallyhave an original wedding invitation!) According to the copy of a letter Ihave from their late niece, Anna Mae "Sr. Felician" Goebel, he earned amaster's degree in horticulture and was once the florist to the royal familyof Austria. They were the parents of:1) Rudolph Joseph Skrobanek (the only one that might have children namedSkrobanek). He married Rosa Discha and they moved to ElPaso, Texas, fromLouisville in the 1920s.2) Adelaide Mary Skrobanek (1891-1907)3) Helen Elizabeth Skrobanek (m. Eugene M. Lawler; she died in Albuquerque,N.M.)4) Frances E. Skrobanek (remained single; died in Nelson Co., at NazarethVillage--at least that's where she was last known living)5) Annie Mae (1900-1900).Your best bet is to see if Rudolph and Rosa had any children. I don't havehis year of birth, but if he was born in the late 1880s, then he could havehad daughters that age in 1918. Kentucky didn't keep birth records before1911, but Louisville did. I forget who you write to to get them or ifthey're indexed anywhere, but I'm sure someone on the list can help.I'm afraid I don't know anything more about that line. I think a descendantof Helen's still lives in Louisville--Mary Ann Maginnis.Other than that, I don't have any information.Hope this helps you track down the girls. If it turns out they are childrenof Rudolph Joseph, I'd love a high-resolution scan of the photo to includewith my Nichter genealogy.If you get interested in the Nichters, I have photos of Lena and of herparents, Johann and Elizabetha Bouchard Nichter. (They were from Germany,but immigrated right after their marriage, so all of their children wereborn in Louisville.)Good luck in your search!Rita Mackin Foxgreat-granddaughter of Catherine Elizabeth Nichter Freville (Lena's sister)rfox58@alltel.net
