"My great grand father is Francis Anton Krch. He was born June 3, 1841 at "Pacov in Eastern Czech Bohemia". His mother's last name was "Janove". He went to school at "Naceradec" until about September 1852 and at "Proavonin" about one year. He left Bohemia and came to America around 1860, joined the Union Army during the Civil War. Returned to Bohemia after the war and may have married at that time.
He married Mary Amelia Kristofek. She was born July 2, 1850 at "Vodanany eastern Czech", Bohemia. Her father was John Kristofek and her mother was Mary Paval. They had one son, John, born in Bohemia before emigrating to the U.S. There they lived in St. Paul, Ramsey, Minnesota and raised a family.
The in information regarding their birthplace and school is in my grandfather's writing and the spelling may be wrong. I have put quotes around those words."
