Some Slechta's related to Obama

This is some very interesting information about some Slechta's. I want to thank Brain Valco for the information and I am posting what he sent me.  I seems he had some trouble posting and/or contacting me through my blog.  If anyone else has any issue you can find me on facebook.  Please let me know if you have issues I would like to resolve them if I can.
 
 
Hi,

How's it going?

I was reading your blog and trying to reach you there but it wasn't working.

Turns out one branch is related to Pres. Obama through his mother. Josephine Childress married Ernest Edward Slechta on May 13, 1908 in Deloit, Iowa and their marriage had issue.

Josephine Slechta was a first cousin of Harry E. Armour, a plumber in El Dorado, Kansas as well as Pres. Obama's great-great grandfather.

That's sort of neat, right?


Cheers,
