Is it possible he is named after St. John Nepomucene, patron saint of
Bohemia? I am suggesting this, but remember I am a novice! My
grandfather consistently used Michael in this country, but one church
record in Chicago indicates he may have been Matej (Matthew) or the
Priest might have been careless. I gather a boy born in Bohemian in
1856 probably was a Matej and not a Michael.

Good luck.
