From what I found in the 1880 census, Frank Xavier's mother seems to have been Juliana. Then on the ship passenger list, his father seems to have been Christian. In the 1880 census, Franz, Agnes, their 3 children, and Franz' mother Juliana, were living in the town of Washington, La Crosse County, Wisconsin. Have you thought about looking for a church marriage record for Frank Xavier Przytarski/Pretasky and Agnes Brizel/Briggor (possibly Brygier?) in the town of Washington?, or in the town of Middle Ridge, La Crosse County, Where 2 of the oldest children Frank Przytalski and Mary Przytarski state they were born (per their marriage records). Hope this helps.
