Cervenka Family Headstones


The is the main monument for the Cervenka family. These are my Great Great Grandparents. Information as follows:

Jan Cervenka Born:29 Aug 1828 Died:12 Apr 1899 His occupation was a farmer and born in Bohemia.
Marie (Holubova) Cervenka Born:27 Aug 1834 Died:22 Mar 1901 and Burried: 25 Mar 1901 she was a house keeper.

Below the main headstone you will find two markers in Czech:
Matka: Mother and Otec: Father

Note the family name of Marie (Holubova) The ending of ova means a girl from the family of Holuba. Some records I have found referr to Marie as Mary.
