Smisek is the spelling for Marie's ancestors. There is no indication of a second son named Joseph born to Marie and James Travnicek. The dates I added came from a book compiled by our Travnicek relatives living in the Warren, Minnesota area. Unfortunately they were not able to contact anyone in the Jackson family and so except for Lillian's parents and siblings, we are not in it. The information I added about the Smisek ancestors came from a book researched and compiled by Arnie Smisek, a distant relative who last I heard still lives in MN. Again we didn't make that book either. Only Marie and her marriage to James Travnicek. Added by Sharon Jackson
