• Photos		Janda Children of Nebraska, ca 1901 Sharon Nemeth writes that "from left to right are, Anna (the younger surviving daughter of Josef Janda and his first wife, Josefa Rejsek), Estella "Staza" (the daughter of Josef Janda and Rousy Hranac), Joseph Sr. (oldest son of Josef and Rousy--"Pepik" is written below his image); Vincent (youngest son of Josef and Rousy); Gust (middle son of Josef and Rousy--it looks like "Gustav" or "Gustus" is written below his image)and finally Emma Hranac, Rousy's eldest daughter, born prior to her marriage to Josef Janda. Josef's eldest son Frank Janda was not in the photo, probably due to being in Canada, and daughter Mary was missing as well, a mystery as she was the one that commissioned the photo to be taken. Daughters Antonie and Alice died young, prior to this photos, and also missing were Rousy's children from her later marriage to Joseph Matejovsky, Agnes, Stanley and Edward.
  		Sluka, Mary (Janda) with her sister Anna (Janda) Bures, Joseph Bures with niece Marie Helen Sluka, and Gust Janda Sharon Nemeth emailed that "Nothing is written on the back of this photo, but I'm guessing that the lady on the left is Mary Janda Sluka and the gentleman on the right is Gust Janda; I identified the others based on the writing on the back of the other photos."
