Notes
a. Note:   Rosalie Hejl, the mother of Rosalia Chaloupka, was the daughter of Josef Hejl, a farmer and gardener in Cermna, (now part of the Czech Republic), and Johana Hausler (Hajsler) (119). The family had intermarried with the Mareks, Silars and Duseks since the 17th century or earlier, and they were fond of naming children after aunts and uncles, so the same names appear every generation. Rosalie's parents were wed in 1825, and Rosalia married Vincenc (Chenek) Chaloupka in the old country in 1850. By 1871, all of Rosalie's siblings except one, plus her mother, had emigrated to Texas. Some of the Hejls were put in heavy debt to their sponsors, but eventually owned farms of their own. Rosalie's oldest brother Josef was one of the chief organizers of the Industry Brethren Church, part of a 19th century Texas restoration of the long-suppressed Hussite Protestant movement dating back to 15th century Bohemia. The Brethren cemeteries of Texas contain the graves of Chaloupkas (her husband's family), Hejls (her family), and Ficks (her daughter-in-law's family), as well as Mareks. According to Hugo Findeisen, Rosalie had the same eye problems (macular degeneration) shared by his cousin Gloria Garrett and himself.
