Talk:Jack H. Skirball

Czechoslovakia
It states that his father came from Czechoslovakia. This can't be true, considering Czechoslovakia didn't become a country until 1918. Before it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as well as the Kingdom of Bohemia. Norum 22:38, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * User:Norum: Thank you for bringing this up. His obituary in The Los Angeles Times says, "It was the death of his father, an immigrant from Czechoslovakia who was in the shoe business, when Jack, the youngest of 10 children, was only 7 and the family had moved from his birthplace, Homestead, Pa., to Cleveland." You are probably correct and the LA Times is probably wrong, but we are supposed to rely on third-party sources...Zigzig20s (talk) 22:47, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I have read the obituary, but in this case, it is clearly a mistake in theoriginal print. Norum 23:03, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
