    I am NOT sure but I believe Karel (born c 1850) is the seated man, so that Anna (Lisnerová) is the seated woman. That would mean that one of the standing young men, probably the older one on the right, is their son Josef. The one standing on the left is probably Vaclav, who came first to Chicago and then to Nebraska soon after this photo would have been taken. (See the PDF file with the complete postcard.)
