I was very fortunate to find a used copy of the above book, originally
written in Czech by Frank Mares as a series of articles from March 1891 to
Sept. 1895, (microfilm original text available at the Nebraska State
Historical Society), and translated and put in book form by Margie Sobotka
(the book does not list a publication date). I doubt if very many copies
were printed as the "book" looks a lot like a university thesis as far as
the binding and type of printing used. It does not cover all of Nebraska or
Kansas as Mares died of cancer before he was able to complete the work. The
important contribution is that in most cases the birthplace village, town,
and county (yes, all three) are given for each pioneer.

I am willing to do look-ups as time permits. The following is an example to
give you an idea of what a typical page looks like (since it is in "text"
form from my scanner, the formatting is lost).
