I am searching for ancestors of John and Mary Kouba from Fait(Fayette County,Texas. Both John and Mary's birthplace was Bohemia. They came to America sometime about mid 1800's. They had nine? children, Todd, Amelia, Reuben, Joe, Lee, Amiel, Johnny, Bettie, and Matilda. I'm not sure about the spellings of their names,they have been spelled 2 to 3 different ways. John Kouba, age 56 and children Bettie,age 16, Tilda,age 12, and Ameale, age 10, were listed on the 1990 census with no wife, had Mary Kouba died by then? By my estimation the last child was born in 1889?. I have a Baptismal certificate for Albin?, and Betha (Bohemia for Bettie)Kouba, Baptized on July 27, 1884, at St. Stephen's Church, Weatherford, Texas Parker County. Alban's birthdate was Jan. 23, 1883. Bettie's birthday has been listed as, Nov. 2, 1883, Nov. 2, 1880, on her death notice, and on the 1900 census she was listed as an age of 16, then she would have been born in 1884. When Bettie married John Horn in Cheyenne, Ok, on May 16,1906, they moved to Canute, Ok. I have been unable to located John and Bettie on the 1910 census. Bettie (Kouba) Horn was my grandmother.
