Smrz from Cicero, Illinois

Looking for information on the Smrz families from Cicero Illinois.

My great grandmother was Theresa (Teresie) Smrz who came to the US in 1889 and married Josef Nohava in Chicago in 1889. She had a brother name Charles Smrz who immigrated in 1907. There was a 20 year age difference between them so we think the parents stayed behind in Bohemia and just the children came over during different time periods.

I've been told that Theresa and Charles did not come in through Ellis Island.

Looking for any other possible siblings of these two people.

Theresa and Charles' father was named Albert, born in Tabor region of Bohemia.

Charles married Mary Pick in Chicago.
The Smrz family first lived in the Southwest side of Chicago in which is called the Pilsen area, and then moved over to Cicero.

Theresa had 10 children and by 1930 was living in Lyons Illinois.
