Same names.

Each of these families have a Francis.  Many other names are duplicated.

Two Kadlik Families.

Two sisters, Mary Vavra and Genevieve Vavra married gentleman by the name of "Kadlik" .  We don't know for sure what the relationship between Froliyan Kadlik and Stephan Kadlik was, if any.

Sometimes it helps to have a summary to keep the two families straight.  Married names of the girls have been added.    Common first names are shown in green.  Somewhere along the line, some of these families changed the spelling of their names.

Second Cousins

Some of the great grandchildren of Joseph and Helen Vavra are in touch.  We have family trees of the next two and, in some cases, three generations. 

Look for us on www.ancestry.com  where this family is listed as the Kadlik/Vavra Tree.
