Dvorak-Frank, Musil-Mary, Manitowoc County WI to Green Bay WI

My great-grandmother, Mary Rose Dvorak, was born in Francis Creek, Manitowoc County WI on Mar 4 1871 of Frank Dvorak and Mary Musil Dvorak.

Mary Musil was born in January 1839 near Prague. She immigrated in 1856. Her father reportedly was Frank Musil.

Frank Dvorak was born 1821, in Czechoslovakia. He immigrated in 1857. They married. Frank Dvorak and Mary Musil bore seven children, four of them survived in 1900: Frank, Ana, John, & Mary Rose. They were in Cooperstown WI for a while, and then farmed in Francis Creek. In 1874, they were living in Fort Howard (west side of Green Bay today). Frank was a carpenter and worked in a sawmill in Ft. Howard. He died in 1882. She died 20 Sept 1924.

Thirty years ago, a distant relative told me that only two brothers came to America, Frank and Joe. The rest stayed in Czechoslovakia.
