Ok people. I have come to a momentous decision in my life. Being that my great grandparents were Wencil and Mary DVORAK, and that there was so much space between their sons Vandy and Joseph (7 years) I have to say that most LIKELY, the gravestone of Josef and Amalia DVORAK is MY FAMILY. I have looked over the indexed photos of all photographed gravestones at the St John Baptist Cemetery in Muscoda, and have not found any other Wencil and Mary DVORAK but MY OWN! So This HAS to be my great aunt and uncle, who died at the incredibly young ages that they did, of I believe 5 and 7 (if my memory doesnt escape me), and so I believe that nobody else needs to claim these children as their own family. I am thusly and thenly proud to say that before the year ends, I am now the proud grand nephew of Josef and Amalia DVORAK! IT so appears that these two children were the very first children of my great grandparents born on the mainland of the United States after they settled in Wisconsin. There are pictures of two identical sailing vessels on the gravestone itself, right above the names Josef and Amalia, which leads me to believe this fact, that the children were born after my great grandparents came to this country in 1881 on the ship SS Frisia! Thus I would like to add two more members of my family born in Wisconsin!
