They were among the first Czechs to make the dangerous voyage to American in 1855- ending up in Iowa- were they farmed and raised their children for some 20years. Then on the advise of Jakub's cousin Valentine Holub, they made the trip south to Texas- Lavaca County and founded the small community of Moravia along with his son-in law Ignac (J.E.) Jalufka.
