“The Journey Across” excepts from “Memories From My Grandmother (Bessie Rezabek Kubert)”, written and contributed by Marci Christensen, Great grand-daughter of John Rezabek, son of Andrej [Andrew]. (1979, 2007).
- Marci interviewed and recorded her Grandmother’s memories several years before her passing. Several of those recollections also relate to the Bochnicek and Spacek family history describing the life and customs, of old Bohemia, their immigration to America, and arrival to a new land, speaking no English. These short stories lend us a deeper appreciation and insight into their lives.
- I have this series into 3 additions parts.
o The Rezabek Family Tree (as found on Ms. Christensen’s website)
o Copy of the Ship Bark Capella’s manifest showing the immigration party from Radkovice and surrounding villages (Zinkovy Estate) destination St. Louis.
o Excerpts of the transcribed passenger list from the ship's manifest as found on the website "Immigrants Transcriber’s Guild", with corrections
