Trnka/Tranka in Minnesota

Trnka/Tranka in Minnesota

Classification: Query
Surnames: Trnka, Tranka, Novak, Trenda
I'm looking for any info on Rozie (Rosa) Tranka (b. 1856) (who married Caspar Novak in 1873) and her sister Mary Tranka (b. 1838?) (who married John Trenda in 1871). Both marriages occurred in Le Sueur County Minnesota.

I'd like to find out the dates of death (and obituaries) of Rozie and Mary Tranka and Caspar Novak, and their parent's names. The families are farmers from Bohemia (don't know where in Bohemia yet).

Your message was posted 4 years ago, so I don't know if you have found more information since then. At any rate my great-grandfather was a brother of Rose and Mary and about 6 months ago, I met a descendant of another of their brothers who had his grandfather's baptismal certificate which lists the village in the Czech Republic they came from and his parents and some grandparents.

Let me know if this information would be helpful to you. Rose died in Pine County, Minnesota in 1937 and Mary in Walsh County, North Dakota in 1907.
