Notes:

Listed as Matthew on the death certificate of his daughter, Anna, but as John on the death certificate of his son John. Assumed Matthew is correct, as the information on Anna's certificate was more precise in other areas. Petr Zakovec, a researcher from the Czech Republic, also shows him as Matej/Matthew, and further notes that he was a Blacksmith.

Matej married Marie Buresova before 1840. Marie was born on 9 Jul 1815 in Sedlec, Plzen-Sever, Plzensk? kraj, Bohemia; died after 1900 in Saunders County, Nebraska. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Petr Zakovec emailed, in December 2014, that he had found the wedding record of Anton and Mary, and that the bride, Marie was the "widow of departed Matej ??kovec, blacksmith from Koryta no. 13, daughter of Martin Bure?, farmer from Sedlec no. 12, and Johanna, born Hausner, from Robcice no. 5"

The 1870 Will County, Illinois census shows Anton Sycopp (Soukup) as married to a Mary, six years younger than him, born circa 1826.

The FamilySearch transcription of the 1880 census for Saunders County, Nebraska, shows an Anton Soocop (Soukup) married to a Rosy. If this is the same couple, not only is the first name of the wife listed differently, but both couples have reported ages considerably higher than the ten years you would expect based on the ages on the 1870 census. Rosy is listed as being age 72, born circa 1808. According to her tombstone, Marie was born ca 1814, and didn't die until 1898. This MAY be a different couple.

Nancy Soukup's genealogical chart shows that Marie's maiden name was unknown, however, and that she was first married to a Mr. Zakovec, having two children with him: John Zakovec and Anna Zakovec Hines. Nancy further indicated that Marie's maiden name *might* have been Bures. Additionally, Ken Chromy shows on his Gedcom that the parents of Anton Soukup, Jr. were Anton Soukup, Sr. and Mary Buresh. Neither Nancy or Ken cite a source for this information. It appears that it could be from the death certificate of Anton Soukup, Jr. This shows that he was the son of Anton Soukup and Marie Buresova. The informant for this certificate was Rosarie Soukup, presumably Anton Jr.'s wife, Rosalie Datel Soukup. It is highly probable that she knew her mother-in-law, or at least knew her maiden name. Therefore it seems reasonable to accept that Anton's wife was Marie Bures. Additionally, the death certificate for Marie's daughter by her first marriage, Anna Zakovec Hines, shows that her parents were Maria Bures and Mathew Zakovec. The informant on that death certificated, filed in 1934, was Mrs. John Hines, a daughter in law of Anna's.

It is also noted that on the 1880 Saunders County, NE census, HH 127-127 was that of Barbara BURES and her husband, Vaclas Chlup (transcribed as Kloop), HH 128-128 Frank and Ann Soukup (transcribed as Socoop), HH 129-129 Anton and Rosy Soukup (Socoop), and HH 130-130 Anton (age 75) Soukup (Socoop) and Rosy (age 72, or Marie BURES Soukup)? Both the Chlup and the Soukup were in Bohemia, then Will County, IL, then Saunders County, NE, and finally, Fillmore County, NE.

In his submission to the LDS Ancestral File, Howard Knapp Parker instead shows the parents of Frank M. Soukup (born 4 July 1852) as Mary Zakovec and Frank Soukup of Korytech, Plzen, Bohemia. To further complicate matters, when Frank died in in 1933, the informant for his death certificate stated that he was the son of Frank Soukup and Barbara Hines. The informant for Frank's death certificate was Harry Soukup, his son. Harry's grandparents appear to have died before he was born, so perhaps he had only garbled recollections of their names.

When Veronica Wirka, the younger sister of Anton and Frank, died in 1938, only the last name of her father, Soukup, was reported. Her mother's name was left entirely blank. The informant for this certificate was Mrs. ?.L. Hines of Morse Bluff. Her relationship to Veronica is unknown.

Nancy Soukup of Davey, Nebraska obtained her information about Anton and Marie Soukup from their tombstones at the Killian Cemetery. Killian Cemetery is in Saunders County, just a couple miles west of Morse Bluff. An index to Nebraska's cemeteries is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~necemete/; and #8 is Killian Hill, or the Czech National Cemetery. Many members of the Zakovec, Hines, and Virka families are all buried there.

(Research):At the time of the 1900 census, Mary was living with daughter and son-in-law, Veronika & John Virka, and listed as a widow, age 83, and the mother of 8 children, five of whom were living. Her year of birth was listed as 1819, with the month of birth being shown as unknown.
