Tesarek in St. Louis, Missouri

Tesarek in St. Louis, Missouri

When searching St. Wenceslaus and St. John Nepomuk Church records in St. Louis, Missouri, I found the following:

Married 11 Sept 1895
Joannes Tesarek, from St. Louis, son of Jacobus Tesarek and Josefa nee Komrska from Radkovic Bohemia, to Maria Mazanec, from St. Louis, daughter of Joseph Mazanec and Elizabetha nee Pluhar from Stepanovice, Bohemia

I know nothing of this family, but sure would like to know more on Josefa nee Komrska as I've found other records of my Komrska ancestors that are listed from this same town of Radkovice, Bohemia, - in current day Republic of Czech

If you find a connection by census or whatever of your Tesarek to this one, you may have a clue to what town in Czech that your ancestor came from!

Since posting the last e-mail, I found that the previously mentioned Joannes/John Tesarek who married Maria Mazanec in St. Louis was born in Zahorcice. I've received information that his mother, Josefa Komrska, was a sister of my great grandfather, Vaclav Komrska. I'm interested to know if John's parents, Jakob and Josefa Tesarek, immigrated to the U.S. and where. All of the living Komrska's from Vaclav's family immigrated except not sure of Josefa who married Jakob, but they only had three children in Zahorcice in the 1870's and then seemed to have left the area. So I suspect they emigrated, but where???
The 1910 census for John Tesarek has him emigrating in 1891. His parents might have been with him then as he was only 20 and single.

Another update to original message/request for more info:

It appears that all four of John and Maria Tesanek's children remained in St. Louis area until their deaths. Mary/Mae first married Frank Hahn, then George Benda. Elizabeth and Rosalia were single at death. Joseph married Frieda someone.

His younger sister, Anna, married Emanuel/Emil Jenisek on 11 January 1895 at St. John Nepomuk Church in St. Louis and moved sometime before the 1900 census to Upper Loutre Twp, Montgomery County, Missouri, and then by 1920 was listed in Martinsburg, Audrain County, Missouri. I've found possibilities of their children located in Illinois, Iowa, and California.

John and his sister, Anna, immigrated to St. Louis without their parents with a young group from Bohemia, heading for Missouri, arriving March 25, 1891, to Baltimore from Bremen on ship Karlsruhe:

Anna Nikodem, 21
Johann Sip, 17
Anna Tesarek, 17
Johann Tesarek, 19
Marie Sip, 16
Marie Harlicek, 23
Josef Sip, 23
Josefa Sip, 21
Franz Cer--ik, 24
Wojtek Mikas, 24
Josefa Mikas, 19

All these Sip individuals might be related to John and Anna nee Tesarek. Anna's maternal grandfather remarried after her grandmother, Anna nee Komrska, died in Bohemia. The 2nd wife was Anna nee Sip who emigrated in 1884 with Josef Komrska and 5 of their 6 living children.
