I do not read Czech so even the death notices I have copies of were written in Czech. I
have relied on acquaintences to translate so things may have been missed. All of the
death notices were from Chicago which is where my ancestor, Josef settled. His wife
Amelia Zeman was born in Iowa where a large group of Czechs immigrated in the 1870s and
1880s. They moved to Chicago in the late 1880s.
I have not had the time to properly reseach all of my ancestors. For me that means
traveling to the areas where they lived to check out all of the sources that are not on
the internet. I also have not been able to contact anyone in the former Czechoslovakia in
the Caslav area to assist with my reseach.
