This is Ignac Vap Jr, his wife & family, his nephew Bedrich (incorrectly marked as son), his sister Frances Vap Borek, her husband & family, and Charles Mazour. Charles was a son of Ignac Mazour - cousin to Ignac Vap Jr. There are a number of errors in ages & sex of the children. Later census records are more reliable for that information.

Line	Name	age	sex		Country from	destination
193	Amalia Malon	20	female	single	Bohemia	Fairfield, Nebraska
194	Anna Malon	18	female	single	"	"

This is Mollie & Anna Malon coming to the US bound for Fairfield Nebraska. They were daughters of Fred Malon & Vincencia Vap. They came to Deweese Nebraska where their uncle Ignac Vap Jr lived. Later that year in November, both the Malon sisters married Psikal brothers from Dorchester Nebraska.

16-May-1886, Ship information found for a departure list from Germany (I'll try to get this updated soon)

Name	age	sex
Frank Vap	46	male	farmer
Frances Vap	37	female	wife
Mary Vap	15	female	daughter
Alois Vap	13	male	son
Frances Vap	11	female	daughter
Josef Vap	7	male	son
Ignac Vap	4	male	son
Amelia Vap	2	female	daughter

Family sources put the ship in the "spring of 1886", and "16-May-1886", but searches for all US ports of entry have come up empty. We have found a departure ship list from Germany, however. I'll get the information updated soon.

22-Aug-1889, Ship: Hermann, Bremen Germany to Baltimore MD

Line	Name	age	sex	calling	Country of citizenship	destination
623	Frank Malon	16	male	none	Austria	Nebraska
624	Alois Malon	14	male	none	"	"

This is Frank & Alois Malon, younger brothers to Mollie & Anna, and sons of Fred Malon and Vincencia Vap. They came to the US into Nebraska. Alois lived with his sister Anna for a few years before moving to Oklahoma. Frank also moved to Oklahoma about 1894.

26-Jun-1901, Ship: Barbarossa, Bremen Germany to New York NY

Line	Name	age	sex		calling	able to read	able to write	Nationality	Last residence	final destination
22	Frank Malon	29	male	married	farmer	yes	yes	citizen discharged on pier	Newkirk, OK	Arkansas City

24	Anezka Malon	4	female	single	none	no	no	"	"	"
25	Eliska Malon	3	female	single	none	no	no	"	"	"

This is Frank Malon, his wife Fanny Vap Malon, and daughters Agnes and Alice. A passport for Frank Malon was found dated 01-Apr-1901 stating his intention to go abroad and return to the US within 6 months. They most likely went back to Moravia for a visit and this ship record was their return.

03-May-1902, Ship: Batavia, Bremen Germany to New York (Ellis Island) NY

Line	Name	age	sex		occupation	Nationality	Last Residence	destination	joining relative/where
6	Frank Vap	16	male	single	farmer	Austria	Oujezd, Moravia	Cincinnati, Ohio	Cincinnati, OH
7	Amalie Borkovec	16	female	single	servant	Austria	D. Loucky, Moravia	Perry, OK	Alois Malon, Ponca City, OK
8	Bozena Kvasnica	18	female	single	servant	Austria	D. Loucky, Moravia	Perry, OK	Alois Malon, Ponca City, OK

This is a 16 yr old Frank Vap arriving in 1902. It says he's from Ujezde and destined for Cincinnati Ohio. He doesn't fit any of the Ignac Vap Sr. decendants, but he may have been in the Deweese area at some point in history (I thought I saw a reference to him on a farmer list during some research - but couldn't find the source again). He is on the 1910 census in Cincinnati, Ohio, and on the 1930 census in Dawson Co Nebraska and is found buried in Lexington (Dawson Co) Nebraska. It would seem he was a distant cousin and remained unmarried after he arrived. He may be a grandson of Tomas Vap.

Interesting note on the ship list is that he is listed right next to 2 girls from Dolni Loucky, Amalie Borkovec and Bozena Kvasnica. They were traveling to Perry Oklahoma. Bozena became the bride of Alois Malon in 1903, and Amalie became the bride of a Frank Sebor (a daughter of theirs will later marry Frank J. Vap III).

22-Jun-1907, Ship: Main, Bremen Germany to New York (Ellis Island) NY

Line	Name	age	sex		occupation	Nationality	Last Residence	destination	relative in county from whence they came
2	Franciska Vap	17	female	single	servant	Austria	Oujezd, Moravia	Omaha, NE	sister: Matilda Vap, Oujezd, Moravia

This is a 17 yr old Frances Vap arriving in 1907. It says she's from Ujezde and destined for Omaha Nebraska. It lists her sister as a Matilda Vap in Ujezde. The Matilda Vap name occurs in the Tomas Vap tree, so it's possible she is connected there. Nothing more is known about her.

24-Jan-1921, Ship: Carmania, Liverpool England to New York (Ellis Island) NY

Line	Name	age	sex		occupation	Nationality	Last Residence	relative in county from whence they came	destination
29	Juroslav Suchanek	20	male	single	laborer	Czechoslovakia	Dolne, Czechoslovakia	father: Josef Suchanek, Dolne Loucky, Czechoslovakia	Apache, Oklahoma

This is a 20 yr old Jaroslav "Jerry" Suchanek arriving in 1921. Cecilia Kvasnica tells us that he is a younger brother to Frances Suchanek (wife of Joseph Vap) and a descendant of Frank Vap Sr.'s sister back in Moravia. Jaroslav married Ludmila Kvasnica.

04-Jun-1926, Ship: George Washington, Bremen Germany to New York (Ellis Island) NY

Line	Name	age	sex		naturalization	address in US
8	Frank Vap	54	male	married	naturalized 1901, Clay Center, NE	Clay Center, NE
9	Mary Vap	42	female	married	naturalized by husband	"
10	Otis Vap	1	male	single	born in USA	"

This is Frank Vap, his 2nd wife Mary and their child Otis (Otto). They most likely went back to Moravia for a visit and this ship record was their return (notice that they are US citizens).

Ship lists we cannot find

• ~1886 - Frank Vap, age 19. He wasn't with his father & family in 1886, or with his brother in 1884, so he must've came over separately.
• ~1900-1901 - Frances Suchanek, age 18. She arrived and became the bride of Joseph Vap
