My husbands family tree has a marriage between Mathias Smolik and Anna Sedlacek. I have had great difficulty researching them. Anna and Mathias were married by the Justice of the Peace in St Louis, Mo in 1870. They were both from Bohemia. Not sure if they met up on a ship or met in St Louis. Is Sedlec another spelling variation of Sedlacek? On Anna's death certificate, her father's name is listed as Joseph.
