No connection that I know....... family lore says Anna CERNY was born in Praha, but Ive not yet researched that branch. And researching ANY birth in Praha, without the Church name is...well, very lenghthy. I dont have handy Anna's family info, altho, her siblings, IF they came to Coal City, IL, USA might be listed in her OBIT, or other CERNY obits, at the Coal Ciity Libarary. They have a web site, try google...... BUT, I dont know their policy on OL requests. You might try the Grundy County IL List. WOW, wait I got motivated and got off my chair and checked my Bohemian National Cemetary book ( for BRAIDWOOD, WILL CO, IL.) Anna had at least a sister..... My Anna, nee Cerny, Swartz, was survived at the time of her death, 2.15.1938, by a Sister, Catherine MUSICK ..... sooooo, checking for , well its lised as MUZIK, Katherine, died at 78 in October 1938 in the home of her Daughter in Chicago, IL ( Braidwood Index Obit ). Above Katherine is James MUZIK, born 4.25.1852 in Mirochovech, Bohemia. Married to Katherine. Died Sept 6, 1929 in Braidwood, ( Will Co ), IL, buried 9-29.The Undertaker was M. S. Patterson and the Physician was W. Frick of Braidwood. ..... Maybe these CERNY's were from James' village too? of Mirichovech ..... IF thats the correct spelling. My Anna ( CERNY) Swartz apparantly was not related to 6 other CERNY's as listed in the Cemtary book. RE : Inlaws, I dont know. Another Project ! Regards, Mike in AZ
