**Marriage License Comments**
The information in the Marriage License matches that in the Marriage Record Index. Nometz was probably an error by the clerk in recording the information. Note that Father Bobal corrected it.	The age for Frank is about a year older and for Mary a year younger that expected from other data. It is likely they adjusted their ages which was common at the time so that the man was older than the woman.

**Church Marriage Record Comments**
This marriage record was obtained in a general search of St. John Nepumuce Records in July 2001 by Dave Jordan. It is unclear whether the town names are where they were from previously or where born. It is thought that Joanni translates to John. Zelenny should be Zelezny. It is unknown who Wenceslas Filipek is. It seems like Vaclav Filipek should have been a witness as Vaclav Filipek would be Frank Nemec's brother-in-law.	The NOVAK line is of some interest because John and Theresa Novak were the baptismal sponsors for John James Filipek in 1882 and it is also thought it was the Novaks who Katherine Nemec stayed with when she came to Chicago and that they were relatives. It is unknown how John and Anna Novak, John and Theresa Novak or Mary Novak connect.

**Occupations**
Prior to 1905 Frank Nemec was employed by Ligget and Myers Tobacco.	After 1905 Frank Nemec established a Shoe Repair Shop on 25th Place. This information was provided by James Nemec in 1978 in 1978.
