Frantisek married Marie Beznoska about 1865 in Bohemia. Marie (daughter of Frantisek "Frank" Beznoska and Anna Krylova) was born on 15 Aug 1842 in Beroun, Stredocesk? kraj, Bohemia; died on 19 Jun 1919 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio; was buried in Harvard Grove Cemetery, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In August, 2014, Kathryn Rybak emailed "Accidentally discovered this evening ... the eldest daughter of Frantisek Beznoska and Anna Kral ... please see Find-a-Grave #16471949 ... also see familysearch Ohio Death certificate 37574 for Marie Rajner 19 Jan 1919, Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, stating her birth as Beroun, Cecho-Slovak and naming her parents.

My husband's grandmother was Josefa Beznoska d/o of Joseph Beznoska mrd in 1875 to Joseph Ribak/Rybak. I suspect that Joseph Beznoska, John Beznoska of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, were brothers of the Frantisek Beznoska you so wonderfully document.

The Find-a-Grave page further tells that Marie & Frank Rajner arrived at the Port of New York on May 19, 1873 aboard the ship Donau. I do not know Cheryl Rudolph who maintains these Rajner/Reiner memorials but was amazed as the knowledge shared here."

Gordon Beznoska instead showed her as dying 1865. This appears to actually be the year she was married.

Notes:

The Immigrants Ships Transcribers Guild has the following information relating to the ship Bark "Industrie" of Bremen:

The ship arrived at the port on 27 May 1865, and Frank's occupation was shown as "Miller," and the families destination was shown as Baltimore. Included among the passengers were:

BEZNOSKA, Franz 42 Anna 43 Veronica 9 Theresia 10 Franz 7 Anna 5, Bohemia.

A Nebraska Czech's website notes that:

"Frank Beznoska, Beroun. Came to Cleveland in 1865. Died March 3, 1900, aged 78. Remembered as an able ferryman, who saved people from drowning on several occasions. "

From http://www.rootsweb.com/~neethnic/czechs/cz-pg97a.html

The family first settled in Cleveland, Ohio. They later came to Nebraska and homesteaded on a farm southeast of Morse Bluff. Two of their daughters remained in Cleveland.

He and his wife were seriously injured in a runaway carriage in 1897. His wife died due to the injuries, and he went to live with his son, Frank Beznoska, Jr. His obituary reads as follows:

"Frank Beznosky (sic) Sr. of Morse Bluff, died at his home in Morse Bluff, March 3, of paralysis. He came to Saunders County from Bohemia in 1869, and engaged in farming. Two years ago his team ran away, killing his wife and injuring Mr. Beznosky so badly that he never recovered, and his death was no doubt due to this abuse. The deceased leaves five children, Mrs. James Racek, Mrs. Soukup of Milligan, Nebraska, Frank Beznoska, and two others in Ohio. The funeral was held, Monday, March 5.

(Medical):Y DNA Results, FTDNA Haplogroup:

R1a

A direct male descendant volunteered to have his DNA tested
. The results can be found at www.ysearch.org, under the user ID #8HGEM. The FamilyTreeDNA kit number is 70191.

R1a The R1a lineage is believed to have originated in the Eurasian Steppes north of the Black & Caspian Seas. This lineage is thought to descend from a population of the Kurgan culture, known for the domestication of the horse (circa 3000 B.C.E.). These people were also believed to be the first speakers of the Indo-European language group. This lineage is found in central & western Asia, India, and in Slavic populations of Europe.

Frantisek married Anna Krylova before 1842. Anna was born about 1821 in Bohemia; died on 25 Jun 1897 in Saunders County, Nebraska; was buried in Czech National (Killian) Cemetery, Morse Bluff, Saunders County, Nebraska. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

A newspaper clipping from 1897 details the accident that claimed the life of Anna Beznoska, and seriously injured her husband:

"Frank Bisnoski (sic) Sr. and wife of Saunders County were victims of a serious runaway Sunday. While driving a spirited team and going down hill, the team became unmanageable and started to run. At the bottom of the hill the horses ran into a wire fence, and the occupants of the bugy were violently thrown into the fence. Mr. Bisnoski received some very severe cuts by the entangled wire...Mrs. Bisnoski, however, was more unfortunate, and received a scalp wound among other injuries. The results could be fatal (to her). Both of these people are upward of 70 years of age, and the results of the accident will be a question for some time. Dr. Doan was called to attendance and relieved the sufferings of the injured as far as was possible. The team was badly cut from the wire and it is feared one of them will have to be killed to relieve if of it's injuries."

A follow up article noted: "Mrs. Bisnoski (sic) who was so seriously injured a few weeks ago in a runaway accident in Saunders County could not survive the injuries received and died during Friday night. The funeral services were held Saturday. A large community of friends were in attendance at the last rites."

Anna Beznoska d 25 Jun 1897 76 yrs




















(Medical):mtDNA: A direct female descendant of Anna, who descends as follows: Anna KRYL>Anna BEZNOSKA>Tessie Rose SOUKUP>Viola STRONG Weaver submitted a DNA sample to FamilyTreeDNA in Houston. The results were as follows:

Presumed Haplogroup: N1b

HVR1 Mutations: 145A, 176G, 183C, 189C, 223T, 390A, 519C
HRV2: Not tested

The results are posted at www.mitosearch.org under the user ID E899U, and as of June, 2006, there were not any matches, which is quite unusual. This is likely because the N1B Haplogroup is uncommon in Europe, and not included as one of the nine lineages that encompass almost all mtDNAs from European, North African and Western Asian Caucasians. Rather, it is in the cluster of "minor haplogroups" W, I and N1b. These three are present in low frequencies in Europe, Near East and Caucasus but only I and N1b have been also detected in Egypt and Arabia. The N1b haplogroup in Europe often indicates Jewish ancestry. The last group radiated around 39,000-52,000 yr BP, giving at least four ancestral clusters. One of them originated haplogroup B that expanded to Eastern Asia, reaching Japan and southeastern Pacific Archipelagos."
