Mohelnitzky

Anton Mohelnitzky (married to Mary Ruskauff) was born March 2, 1848 (according to a Bible entry), or April 24, 1848 (according to his death certificate). His birth place has not been verified, but several town names have been suggested by his descendants:

Sellgan / Zellgan / Selzau

Census records and Anton's marriage record indicate Anton was born in Bohemia, Austria.

New research suggests the place of Anton's birth could be: Sedlicanech / Sedlcany in Czech language / Seltschan in German language.
