Welcome to Our Nemec Family web pages!

The focus of Our Nemec Family web pages is the genealogy and history of Martin and Katerina Nemec of Mazelov, Bohemia, their children, and their children's children.

At the head of our clan is Martin Nemec, born in 1831 in Mazelov, Bohemia. Martin married Katerina Zelezny in 1850 and they had eight known children. Two of the children emigrated to Chicago, two died in infancy, and four stayed in Bohemia. Bohemia is now part of the Czech Republic.

Martin and Katerina Nemec's daughter Katerina was born in 1862 in Mazelov. In 1884, she married my g-grandfather Vaclav Filipek and in 1889 they emigrated to Chicago. In the late 1890s they went west to Colorado to work for the Denver and Rio Grande railroad. Katerina Nemec Filipek is pictured above while win Pueblo, Colorado in 1898.

Through exploring Our Nemec Family web pages you'll understand the origins of our Nemec family. We'll do this through family charts, letters, maps, photos, records and family recollections. And then all these pieces are brought together in The Nemec Story.

Martin and Katerina Nemec's children and grandchildren married into a number of other families such as the Filipek and Skoblik families and Our Nemec Family web pages provides some information about these families also.
