Frank John Mraz Sr (1872-1963) immigrated to the US, from Bohemia, in the early 1912 or 1913, with 4 brothers. They were supposedly processed through Ellis Island. The plan was to meet again in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. This never occurred. My grandfather married Anna Marie Beran Smetana (1883-1950) at Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, in 1920. My grandmother had a daughter, Mary Rose Smetana, age 6, (1913-1984), from a previous marriage. Mary was adopted by my grandfather. Her fathers name may have been James Smetana. They moved to Table Rock Nebraska in 1921 where my father, Frank John Mraz Jr (1921-1987) was born. Both Grandparents buried at Czech-Bohemian cemetery at Table Rock Nebraska.
My grandmother, Anna Marie, is the daughter of Frank Beran and Mary Magdalene Zima (1853-1934) of Kansas. My Aunt, Mary Rose, married Chancie Rowell (1900-1980) and resided in Nebraska until their death.
My father, Frank John Jr married my mother, Helena B Popek (1925-2012), from Poland. Both parents are buried at Killeen Memorial Cemetery
Does anyone have a missing Uncle? Would like to here from you. Need a relative on the Mraz side of the family.
