Frank and Katarina Vana lived in house 9 in Belec at the time of their first child's birth in 1850. Their second child was born in January 1853 in the same house. In November, 1853, Frank and Katerina were married in house 2 Vosule (Osule), at which time their two daughters were deemed "legitimized" by the Catholic church records. (See attached photo of their marriage record).
They emigrated to Davenport, Iowa some time in 1853, as they are shown in the 1854 Davenport Census but without Anzeka, who may have died before they left Bohemia, on the boat, or after arriving in Davenport. It is believed that shortly after arriving, Katherine died. It is also believed that Frank then married Katherine Holub, also from Bohemia, and also living in Davenport at that time.
Frank, Katerina and Maria are in the Iowa Census of 1856 as "Francis Snader," a laborer. He states he has been in the U.S. for 2 years. Mary, age 5, is also shown.
A total of 13 children were born to Frank and his wives but six died before they reached adulthood. Records of all of their children's baptisms were found either at St. Kunigunda (later St. Joseph) or St. Margaret Catholic Church. St. Kunigunda was established in 1855.
Frank was buried in a grave purchased by a Mr. Burmeister, who was a mortician. It cost $20. He died of hepatitis.
The house pictured here is in Belec, where he and Katharina lived before immigrating.
Note: over the centuries, the last name Cinadr has been spelled as Cinader, Sinader, Snader, Snider, Ceneder, Zenador, Senator and Snyder. Some of the Cinadrs Americanized their last name to Cinader or Snyder. Frank's death certificate read "Frank CINADER."
