- Joseph ROZHON b. 10 Mar 1865, Zebrakov?, , , Bohemia; d. 14 Mar 1931, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA.
Notes:
Birth place unknown -- not on death certificate in my possession, however, his wife was born in Zebrakov and they were married in Bohemia, so it's possible that he might be from Zebrakov, as well.
NOTE: IRAD website lists a couple with these same names as having married on 09/09/1889 in Cook County, Illinois. Are these the same people or a different Joseph and Mary? Or did they really get married in Bohemia? Did they just renew their vows in 1889? Their first child, Anna, was born Jan 1889, fully 9 months before they married. This information seems suspect to me.
