Abt 1815 - Abt 1885  (~ 70 years)

• Name	Antonin Soukup  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1813-1815	Plasy, Plzen-Sever, Plzensk? kraj, Bohemia   [2, 3, 4]
  Gender	Male
  Death	Abt 1885	Saunders County, Nebraska   [5]
  Notes	Petr Zakovec emailed, in December 2014, that he had found the wedding record of Anton and Mary, and that Antonin was a "blacksmith journeyman from Plasy no.15, son of Josef Soukup, shoemaker from Plasy no.15 and Teresie, born Hyke?ov?, from Babiny no. 19" Anton Soukup and family can first be found in Braidwood, Illinois, later moving to Nebraska to homestead. "Most of the Czechs in this vicinity (Saunders County, Nebraska) were obliged to go elsewhere to earn a living. Many originally came (in this country) from around Braidwood, Illinois, where they had worked in mines. So back there they went for the winter season, or to Omaha (and in either case they went to Omaha afoot), leaving their wives to take care of the children and homesteads. Mrs. Frank Hines (living at date of writing) remembers when her husband left for Braidwood and two weeks later their son Frank was born. There was no alternative, they had to live." Source: As noted at http://www.rootsweb.com/~neethnic/czechs/cz-pg97a.html When Anton's son, Frank died in in 1933, the informant for the death certificate (Harry Soukup, a grandson of Anton) erroneously stated that Frank's father was also named Frank Soukup. CZECH NATIONAL CEMETERY (also known as Killian Cemetery) located in Bohemian township in the NE 1/4 SW 1/4 of Sec 23 Township 17, Range 5E of Saunders County, Nebraska. Recorded on April 12, 1977 and completed on April 15, 1977 by Clarabelle Mares 1722 E 19 Fremont, Nebraska and assisted by Kathrine Petersen. Cemetery in very good condition. Working from front to back in rows. Marie Soukup 1813 - 1885 Antonin Soukup 1814 - 1898 It appears, however, that a widowed 83 year old Mary Soukup was listed in the household of her daughter and son-in-law, the VIRKA's, at the time of the 1900 census, so her date of death must have actually been shortly after that census.

It appears that the ages listed in 1870 may have been off, as the 1880 ages more closely match their years of birth according to their tombstones. (Medical):Y DNA Results, FTDNA Haplogroup: R1b1 A direct male descendant volunteered to have his DNA tested . The results can be found at www.ysearch.org, under the user ID #J7DYD. The FamilyTreeDNA Kit number is 69508. The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals. R1b is the most common Y haplogroup in Europe - more than half of men of European descent belong to R1b. Fourteen of the 30 most common haplotypes in the YSTR.org database are typical of R1b.

• Histories

  Ancestral Region in Czech Republic The Soukup family was from Kortya, a small village near Pilsen, and approximately 60 miles to the west of Prague. The Beznoska family was from Beroun, an administrative center akin to a "county seat". It lies on the motorway that connects Pilsen with Prague, closer to Prague than to Pilsen.
