Notes on Frantisek Zajicek (5-17-1828) (Referred to as "Wood Carver") - written by Randall BLECHA (from his website)
In assigning this particular individual as the correct Frantisek Zajicek, I have had to accept certain data as confirming this person. However, there is considerable information that is in conflict, or does not support this conclusion. At the present time, I believe that the supporting information is adequate enough to enter him and his descendents. Below is an analysis of the supporting and conflicting information:

Supporting:

1. Immigration data from July 1883 supports the birth information that was provided by Jan Zajicek who researched the original birth records in the archives in Pilzen, Czech Republic.
Individual Ship Manifest
Frantisek Z 55 thus 1828 1828 Per Jan Z
Marie Z 50 thus 1833 Per 1900 census, she is 5 yrs younger than Fr.

2. DNA: DNA evidence from a direct descendent of Wood Carver is a 96% match with a descendent of Vaclav Zajicek (1813)

3. In the 1910 census, Frank Tellin Jr. is living with Frantisek (Wood Carver) and his son Frank Sr. in Chicago. Frank Tellin is the child of Barbora Zajicek Tellin (sister to Frantisek Wood Carver). This brings these families together.

4. The 1900 census shows that Marie, in response to ?how many children have you given birth to, and how many are still alive?? she responds ?6?. This is consistent with all that we know about this family. We have the names of 6 children. The oldest would be Anna (later marries Anthony Kupka) (Also another connection to the Frank 1808 and Anna Zajicek living in Washington County, Iowa) whose birth year is 1856. This is in the year following the marriage of Frantisek (Woodcarver) and Marie Ernetovou in 1855. I believe this also corroborates that Marie, who is still living with Frank in Chicago in the 1900 census is the one and only wife to Frantisek.

5. At first, I thought this was a conflicting piece of information, but I now believe it is supporting. Joseph Zajicek (1861), son of Frantisek Woodcarver, has his birth location as Kralovice instead of Bujesily. However, Kralovice is only 15.2 km from Bujesily. It appears to be a larger town. So, he may have actually been born there, or he listed it because the Kralovice has better name recognition. Or, when his father sells their home in Bujesily in 1864, we don't know where the family lived until 1869 when Frantisek (1808) and many family members moved to the U.S. They may very likely have lived in Kralovice during that time.


Conflicts:

1. Many documents list the maiden name for Marie, wife of Frank Zajicek (Woodcarver) as Novakova. Jan Zajicek documents that the correct maiden name is Ernetovou. I believe the error arose because Frantisek?s mother?s maiden name was Novakova, but it is still an inconsistency.

2. The birth dates for Frank and Marie on the 1900 census and 1910 census (and subsequently their headstones) do not agree with those provided by Jan Zajicek. In addition, the date of marriage that is extrapolated from the 1900 (32 years) would be 1868. This is very confusing. If they had only been married for 32 years, that would place their marriage date well after the birth years of several of their children. However, I believe I have established that Marie was, indeed, the mother of six children.

3. Frantisek Zajicek appears to have made his living as a carpenter and woodcarver in the U.S. In Bohemia, the only records for Frantisek that can be found by Jan Zajicek indicate that he worked as a steward or manager on an agricultural farm. This may or may not be an actual discrepancy.
