        SURNAME: Also shown as SHEBEK

        SURNAME: Also shown as SHEBEK

        GIVEN NAMES: Also shown as Francis (Frantiska)

        SURNAME: Also shown as SHEBEK

        GIVEN NAMES: Also shown as Francis (Frantiska)

        We had shown her birth name as "Shebek\Sebka", however, I have changed it with the updated information from Jan Zajicek and to reflect the proper Czech ending on female names. It should be noted that the first letter of her last name is pronounced, "Sh". It is the Czech letter S with a mark above it.
