Bessie Bozena Koutecky
1877 - 1972 (94 years)
-
Name Bessie Bozena Koutecky [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] Born 15 Nov 1877 50, Radnice, West Bohemia, Czech Republic 
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] 
Christening Record of Bozena Koutecky (1877) - in both Czech & English
The document is dated 30 Jun 1878 and is an extract from the original record. It is not known if this extract was made while the family was still in Radnice or if it was made after they had arrived in Chicago and then mailed to them. It seems more likely that they were still in Radnice, although this conflicts with Petr Koutecky saying in the 1900 census that he had arrived in the US in 1877. It is possible that Petr came to the US first and that the extract was made and Marie and Bozena then came in 1878. No passenger lists have yet been found for any of them.
