In 1874, they made their way from Bohemia to Bremen, Germany, where they boarded the SS Nurnberg for the long journey to a new country. They arrived in America at the Port of Baltimore, Maryland on May 4, 1874. From there they took a train to Chicago, Illinois, where they settled.
Except for the sons, no trace is found of Frank and Anna until the 1900 census, when Anna is found, a widow, in the home of the youngest son, Philip (Filip). In 1892, the three sons are listed as registered voters, but not their father. It can probably be assumed that Frank was deceased even before 1892.
