Wenzel Weck

I have been researching Wenzel Weck for many years. I had been mystified as to why I had not been able to locate his grave in the vicinity of Kewaunee County, Wisconsin, where he had been living in his later years.

I had seen his name documented in two different ways, "Wech" and "Weck", with "Weck" being the more common of the two. Yet I couldn't find a "Wenzel Wech" or a "Wenzel Weck" in all of Kewaunee County.

While looking for an entirely different name in cemetery records, I came across a "Václav Veck" with his wife "Katerina Veck". Both birth dates match what I had, except in more detail.

According to Wikipedia, "Václav" is a Czech male first name of Slavic origin, sometimes translated into English as Wenceslaus or Wenceslas.
