SHIMOTA/SIMOTA FAMILY - BOHEMIA & MINNESOTA

Dear Jim,
My name is Christine Lewin and I am also descended from the Simota/Shimota family.Here's my family line:
(I got this information from the Internet, plus family members)
Jan Simota and his wife Veronika (Outrata) Simota were born in Bohemia and came to the US and settled in New Prague, MN.They had 1 child (that I know of), a daughter named Veronika (Shimota) Pelant.She married Vaclav Pelant and had 11 children.
In reviewing my information, I have found some inconsistencies.I have reports that Jan Simota and his wife and daughter immigrated to the US and are buried in New Prague.But I also have been told that Veronika (Shimota) Pelant married Vaclav Pelant in Bohemia, and immigrated to the US with their 11 children.
Perhaps you can shed some light on this mystery?In any case, this is definatley my family!
