• Notes

  A Franz Kohout purchased land from via a land patent on 22 Feb 1858. The land was in the same area of residence as Anna and Wencel Tuma. (scan of land patent available) It is unknown if or how Franz is related to Anna Kohout. I am researching this connection because Anna's first child was born abt. 1861 so Anna arrived in Wisconsin sometime before that.
