Family Chart Notes
  1. Clicking individual names under the Parent's/Children's column transfers to that individual's Family Chart.
  2. There is a discrepancy for Theodore's year of birth and location. His personal story indicates he was born in New Prague, Minnesota while the 1880 Census indicates a 1879 birth year in Bohemia. In addition, the 1900 Census indicates a date of June 1878 in Bohemia with an immigration date of 1880. His Ship Arrival Record indicates that he was born in early 1879 and arrived by ship. Currently, the best guess is that he was born January 10, 1879 in Bohemia and probably at the Sokolik farm in Kolence.
