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.

Birth info from 1900 Census which showed Jan 1889, however, her parents didn't marry until 09 Sep 1889 so it's possible she was either born out of wedlock or the date was in error on the census.

RESIDENCES: 1905 - 504 18th Place, Chicago (per obituary)

I originally had Alois and Lewis as two seperate children, but now realize that Lewis is more than likely the Americanized version of Alois. Also, the two names never appear in the same census together. Alois was in the 1910, Lewis in the 1900.
