  Father	Josef CHRZ,   b. 25 Feb 1833, Cila 5, Bohemia d. 21 Dec 1912, Freeborn County, MN (Age 79 years)
  Mother	Frantiska BENESOVA,   b. 9 Mar 1832, Hradiste 9, Czech Republic d. 12 Dec 1908, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois (Age 76 years)
  Marriage	4 May 1852	Zvikovec, Czech Republic   [3]
  		Marriage of Josef Chrz to Frantiska Benes in 1852
  Notes	The church record for both the marriage of Frantisek Chrz in 1850 and Josef Chrz in 1852 appear to contain several errors. I believe this is because these men had been born and raised and documented in the church records in Skryje. I believe the priest in Zvikovec just made some mistakes. I've corroborated these findings with subsequent documentation with the birth of children for Frantisek and Josef. [3]
