Looking for any information on 'Zápotočný in Bohemia, my ancestor is Magdalen or Magdelena 'Zápotočný born b abt 1856 in Bohemia, her maiden name may have been Spinar according to family. She immigrated to Illinois port of entry was July 1892 Ship Dresden, she stated that the last place of residence was Nove Dvur. She immigrated with daughters Marja or Mary b 1876 in Bohemia, Anna b 1881 in Prague, Katherina L b 28 Apr 1885 in Bohemia, Agnes b 27 Oct 1886 in Bohemia (Czech Republic), Antonia b 1887 Bohemia, Magdalen put that she was married when immigrated and he must of died on possibly the ship as he was not with her when she arrived in Baltimore Maryland in July of 1892. She remarried in 1897 in Chicago to John Kasprak also from Bohemia and had a son Joseph Kasprak b 1902 in Chicago Illinois. I am trying to find any marriage for her to 'Zápotočný abt or any of the birth records in Bohemia for her children naming her maiden name and their father. They were very Catholic. I am unable to find any information on either births or Church records in Prague with the surname of 'Zápotočný, In the US it was spelled a number of ways Zapatona, Zapatoena, ect, so am not sure if 'Zápotočný is the correct spelling in Bohemia. Any information would be helpful as I cannot find anything on this surname.
Her daughters married in Illinois, Anna to Rudolph J Lanka in Illinois, Katherine L to Frances Mehren in Illinois, Agnes to William J Stoffel in Illinois.
Also any information on what port the Dresden departed from in 1892 from Bohemia would be wonderful.
