This was taken in Bohemia in the late 1860s or early 1870s.  Most of the Rosalie (Juzek) and Adalbert (or Albert) Kudrle  family went to Plymouth County.  in the late 1870s and early 1880s.  We have definite identification only on the parents and the two daughters.  The one in the back is Mary/Marie Kudrle who married Bartholomej/Bartel/Bartholomew Poradek and was my great-grandmother.  The younger daughter was Frances/Frantiska Kudrle who married Charles Rastaetter.  They moved on to Wyoming where she died.  Their daughters spent a year or two in Plymouth county with the relatives there then went east to live near their father and with an uncle. 

This is the only photo anyone has of Marie Kudrle Poradek and her seven surviving children.   I am not sure who's who here except that my grandmother, Lillie Poradek, was the short one second from the left in the back and Joe was the only son.  I think the two in the front with Marie/Mary (who never learned English) are Mary/Marie Poradek Vondrak and Rose Poradek Juzek.

Rose Poradek married Charles Juzek. While I don't have the date or location of their marriage it was likely Plymouth County though it could have been Sioux City. They farmed in Plymouth County. Here is some of the info I have on them:
