My Great Grandmother Catherine Vrchota Najmajstr is the person our company was named after, as you know. I have enjoyed doing family history research and each time getting to know more about her. The top picture here is of Catherine with her family when she was five and the bottom picture is of the much expanded family when they were adults. One of the thing I learned lately while looking at census records from when she was an adult is that she sometimes spelled her name with a K and that her nickname was "Katy." For some reason I find little things like this exciting. Watch our blog for more about Family History Reasearch.
We are jewelry designers-my friend Jeannette O'Brien, my cousin Sue Collier and myself. Catherine Vrchota Najmajstr, the great-grandmother of Sue and I, was born in Bohemia and came to the US as a young girl. She was a very talented lady who is loved and talked about to this day in South Dakota, where she homesteaded with her husband. We like to think she dreamed of this day where we can share the bit of talent we inherited from her with a large audience.
