History

The Mikesch surname name is from Austria and its royalty. 
My grandfather was born in Austria.  His last name is Mikesch here in America. He moved to Bronx, New York and had a family.  His name was Adolph Mikesch.  I have since learned from someone in Whitehouse, NJ that her maiden name was Mikesch.  Neither this lady nor my grandparents knew each other.  This woman told me that in Austria the name is spelled "Mikes" but pronounced as Mikesch.  So here in the US they ad the "ch" so people say the name correctly as "Mikesch".   The woman also said that the name "Mikes" or Mikesch is in the family of descendents of the royalty of Austria.  For this i can not validate but its a start for someone who can take this further.   The name has been around for at least 200 years or more, if we consider the lineage of royalty.  Interestingly, this woman whose maiden name was Mikesch had a husband who was  in one of the first Olympic games held and won a medal.  I believe it was for running. This is Joy Piper, descendent of Adolph and Francess Mikesch.

My name is Scott Mikesch born December 26, 1963 in Hancock, Michigan. My father is Robert Mikesch born December 17, 1963 in Hancock, Michigan. His father is Clayton J Mikesch whose information is listed above. I have information of our descendants going back to 1863, which was compiled by my Uncle William Mikesch whose birthday I don’t have available at the time of this post. I’m a History major and find things like this fascinating. Hopefully, this post will lead to connecting with distant relatives.

Scott- my great-grandmother was Anna Mikesch, who died in Dux Bohemia (now Czechoslovakia) around 1860. She was married to Adolph Merker, and died in childbirth. Her daughter, my grandmother, immigrated to the US around 15 years later, and settled in the northwest, where much of our family still lives. I've tried to find more records about Anna, but am still in that process - maybe a (very distant?) relationship between our families?
