- There is a good possiblilty that this is the Katerina Filipek that married Frantisek Jana. Our Katerina Filipek was born 15 July 1858 and would have been almost 20 on 18 June 1879.
- The arrival date is just a little over a month after the Sokoliks arrived on 7 May 1879. There are very few Filipeks listed in the index so the similarity of the first name and the timing of the arrival strongly suggest this could be our Katerina Filipek.
- This record was found using Leo Baca's Czech Immigration Passenger Lists, Volume V: New York 1870-1880. The index identified the individual, age, where from, the ship and the date of arrival.

- The data displayed above was transcribed from the index. The National Archives microfilm of the ship's manifest may yield a little more information.
- One important piece of data could be the embarkation port. If the ship embarked with our passenger from Hamburg, then additional data can be obtained from the Hamburg Emigration Index when the correct year become available.
- It would also be useful to perform a search of fellow passengers on the manifest to see if any names are familiar.
- A search should be done to determine if Frantisek Jana married Katerina Filipek in Minnesota, around Montgomery or New Prague for 1879 to 1880.
- The 1880 Census does show that Frank and Katerina Jana's first child, Kate was born in December 1879.
