The part played by the immigrants from Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia - that
comprise today's Czechoslovakia-tn the growth and development of The United States has not
been by any means insignificant. From early colonial times and later immigration waves to
The present, these European settlers and their descendants have participated in
practically every sector of the American society and have made important contributions to
economic, cultural and spiritual life in this country.1 A good measure of these people's
contributions and achievements is their record of selection and election to public office.
The present volume represents the first serious effort to identify the members of
the US. Congress who have their roots in Czechoslovakia. The listing includes persons born
on the territory of today's Czechoslovakia as well as individuals of Czechoslovak descent,
born in the United States. The term Czechoslovak, as defined here, should be interpreted
strictly in a geographic context without regard to nationality of The listed individuals.
Altogether, sixty-one individuals are listed, of whom forty-five can claim their
ancestry in Czechoslovakia. In addition, the publication includes sixteen other
legislators whose spouses are of Czechoslovak descent.
Of the first forty-five legislators whose ancestry is rooted on the territory of
today's Czechoslovakia, there are fifteen U.S. senators and Thirty-six U.S.
representatives, Six individuals, namely Bender, Brewster, Clayton, Dworshak, Hruska, and
Lamar have served both Houses, which explains the seeming discrepancy between the number
of the listed individuals and the number of offices they held. Congressmen Michalek,
Sabath and Stefan are the only legislators who actually were born on the territory of
Czechoslovakia, all others have been born in the U.S.
It is noteworthy that twenty-one
legislators are direct descendants of Augustine Herman, the First Lord of Bohemia Manor
who emigrated in the early part of the seventeenth century from Bohemia via Holland to New
Amsterdam (now New York City) and then settled permanently in Maryland-2 In addition, nine
other legislators married Augustine Herman's descendants.
In addition to Herman, there was
another prominent Bohemian who lived in the seventeenth century America, namely Frederick
Philipse3 who left a prolific progeny, whose descendants have married into the first
families of America, Canada, and Great Britain. Although we have been able so far to
identify only one legislator with direct lineage to Frederick Philipse, we have traced six
spouses descended from him.
Six legislators, i.e. Beck, Demuth,
two Kitteras and two Shobers are descendants of the Moravian Brethren who came to America
from Moravia in the eighteenth century.4 Phillips and Jonas are descendants of Bohemian
Jewish families who immigrated to the U.S. in the eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries, respectively.
The remainder of the listed
legislators are the first or the second generation Americans whose ancestors immigrated to
the 13.5. in the nineteenth century. The Czechoslovak origin of this group of
"contemporary" legislators, which includes Babka, Bender, Dworshak, Gaydos,
Hruska, Konop, Mottl, Mrazek, Ruppe, Schneider, Vanik and Visclosky is generally known.
The identification of individuals
with Czechoslovak roots, born in the US., particularly those in Colonial times, was not an
easy task and is the result of painstaking research, utilizing numerous historical and
genealogical sources. The Czechoslovak origin has been determined and verified for every
legislator with the exception of DeMuth(5) and the two Kitteras (6), whose Moravian
background has been strongly suggested. The evidence of Czechoslovak ancestry of
individual legislators or legislators' spouses from the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries is shown by the genealogical lineages appended at the end of the volume.
No claims are made as to the
completeness of the present listing since further research may yet uncover additional
personalities of Czechoslovak ancestry among the U.S. legislators.
Individual biographies of the listed Legislators are based primarily on the
Biographical Directory of the American Congress (1774-1971) and the relevant volumes of
the Congressional Directory. Whenever appropriate, the information was supplemented or
updated, using standard biographical sources. Should the readers desire additional
information they may consult the Dictionary of American Biography and its Supplements
which contain sketches of many deceased members of the U.S. Congress.
This researcher would welcome any new information which would add

7. In this connection it is of
interest that Thomas Capek was able to identify only seven congressmen of Czechoslovak
origin in his Amen can Czechs in Public Office (Omaha, Czech Historital Society of
Nebraska, 1940).
8. Despite his Czech sounding name,
we have not included in our listing William Paca (1740-1789), a signer of the Declaration
of Independence and a member of the Second Continental Congress, who has been claimed as
their native son both by the Italians and the Czechs. As of this time, definitive evidence
is still lacking regarding Paca's ethnic origin.
