Hello Lesa,
I was just helping my sister with info on this family for her gr kids. We found Anton's WWI Draft Registration, Passport app where he returned to marry Julia, Ship records where he came to the US in Nov 1893 on the Waesland with possibly his father Venceslaus age 44 (Anton was 15), ship records for Julia and Anton's return to the USA in 1905 on the Kaiser Wilhelm II, 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses, cemeteries, and headstone photos. Also found several Zvolanek's who were coming to NEbraska who could be either Anton's or Julia's since you said her maiden name was also Zvolanek.
The WWI Reg & Passport app show Anton's dob to be 1 June 1878. Do you think it possible that Julia's parents immigrated to the US? And, do you know anything about Venceslaus? I have searched the 1900 census for many variations of his name, and have found nothing. The last name gets transcribed to tons of names the most ridiculous being Goolonch.
