Generation: 2
  1. Henry (Ignatz) ROZHON b. 1 Mar 1882, Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio; d. Dec 1962, Downer's Grove, DuPage, Illinois.

    Notes:
    BIRTH:
    Birth and death information obtained from the webpage at http://www.dcgs.org/downers/page182.htm
    Although Henry lists his place of birth as Cleveland, Ohio on his World War II draft registration card, this seems unlikely since his father and mother arrived in the USA with him and several of his siblings in 1887 and he was born in 1882.

  2. Henry m. Johanna K. BERGHAUS Abt 1911/1912. Johanna b. 1888, ,, Illinois, USA; d. 1985, Downer's Grove, DuPage, Illinois, USA. [Group Sheet]

  3. Johanna K. BERGHAUS b. 1888, ,, Illinois, USA; d. 1985, Downer's Grove, DuPage, Illinois, USA.

    Notes:
    Birth and Death information obtained from webpage at http://www.dcgs.org/downers/page182.htm
    The 1920 Census shows a brother-in-law living with the family. Only his surname is given. I think it's safe to assume that Berghaus is Johanna's maiden name if her brother is living with her.

    Children:
    1. Harold H. ROZHON b. 24 Sep 1913, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA; d. Mar 2002, Ormand Beach, , Florida, USA.
    2. 1. Marion L. ROZHON
    3. Irene H. ROZHON
    4. Raymond ROZHON d. Bef 1962.
    5. Robert ROZHON d. Bef 1962.

Generation: 3
  1. Matej (Michael) ROZHON b. Oct 1833, Mokrice, Bohemia; d. 7 May 1915, Baldwin, , Michigan, USA.

    Notes:
    IMMIGRATION:
    Arrived 07 Jun 1887 aboard the SS Eider out of Bremen, Germany and Southampton, England. Destination is given simply as United States of America. Place of origin is stated to be Bohemia. No other useful details appear on the manifest. The following are the individuals who appear together:
    Rozhon, Matej age 50 male
    , Josefa age 40 female, wife
    , Franz age 9 6/12 male, son
    , Johann age 7 6/12 male, son
    , Maria age 5 female, daughter
    , Ignatz age 3 male, son
    , Barbara age 11/12 female, daughter
    , Anastasia age 14 female, none (may be a relative of some sort but 'none' was what was actually listed.
    Note that there is no James or Vincenc travelling with the family. He may have arrived earlier and would be quite older than his siblings.

    I've listed Mokrice, Bohemia as his birthplace solely on the strength of the naturalization paperwork that was filled out by his sons, Frank and John (naturalized13 Oct 1904), where they listed that as their prior home. Mokrice is very close to Zahorany.

    Matej's obituary states that he had two daughters-in-law at the time of his death. 1) Johanna; 2) Kristyna.

    He was 89 years old when he died.

    RESIDENCES:
    1895 525 W. 18th St., Chicago -- Laborer (from City Directory)
    1897 494 W. 18th, Chicago -- Cigarmaker (from CityDir)
    1898 494 W. 18th, Chicago -- Cigarmaker (from CityDir)
    1899 494 W. 18th (r), Chicago -- Cigarmaker (from CityDir)
    1900 1298 Spaulding Ave, Chicago -- Cigarmaker (from CityDir)
    1901 1298 Spaulding Ave, Chicago -- Cigarmaker (from CityDir)
    1915 Baldwin, Michigan (per obituary)

    There seems to be some sort of connection to James Rozhon (3.1) who also lived at the 494 W.18th address. In addition, James Rozhon, Jr. lived at that address. Michael had a son named Vincene who never married and later moved with his father to Michigan. James, however, is associated with a Jan as his father, not Michael, so who is Michael and how are they related (if they are, at all?)
