Unknown Photo
I have a some more photos I found that are currently unknown. I asked everyone I know if they recognize them. If any one recognizes them please let me know. A tip for anyone reading this, label the backs of your photos with full names, dates and details. To me it is sad that someone's image will remain, but nothing else may ever be known about the person.
If you look at the bottom of this photo it was taken in Bowery, New York by a Gogler Photography, I assume.

Mary Slechta - My Recollections
Something interesting happened to me this weekend, well it was interesting to me anyway. Sunday morning I had a few minutes before my wife, my youngest daughter and I had to leave for my nephews college graduation party. So I decide to do a little searching for information on the Slechta name. While searching I came across this.
I thought interesting someone wrote a book on their life's memories. I didn't think much more about it at the time.
So we went to my nephews party. When we got there my parents had already arrived and where already inside. So we went in and said hello to everyone. It was such a nice day the we decided to go sit out on the deck and have a drink. As we were talking and enjoying our drinks my dad asked how the research was going. I said pretty good, but it has slowed a little until after my oldest daughter wedding in October. He then said, your mother and I came home the other night and found this between their door and screen door. It was a book and they had no idea who left the book, but if you have not already guessed, it was the book from above (Mary Slechta - My Recollections).
My dad is currently reading it and when he is done will pass it along to me. He said the book depicts her life from when her parents moved from Bohemia to Croatia then to the United States. Her marriage to Alfred Slechta and other parts of her childhood. It also contains a number of photos of her and Alfred's before and after they met.
I intend read the book and summarize what I read on my blog. I will also put all the publisher information here as well for anyone interested in finding and reading a copy of the book.

Maurice Slechta
I posted this in an earlier blog, but I see I have been getting visits here so I am posting it again. I am looking for a Maurice Slechta. He had 2 sisters, Ruth who married a Samuel(s) and Mary who married a During. Maurice's father's name was Thomas and he was a muscian and his mother's name was Louise. Maurice died in Clarke County, Nevada and Las Vegas is listed as the city. In some searches I found that he had lived in the Reno, Nevada area. That is about all I know.
His sister Ruth had a last know address of San Francisco. Mary I don't know much at all.
Thanks Paul

Post for another Schlechta

Hi! I'm working on a bit of a family mystery and hope someone might have some details that would help. My great-great-grandparents were Anton (1851-1931) & Anna (1854-1928) Slechta. They had a daughter Lucy and a son Louis (1885-1961) who married Catherine A Langer. Louis and Catherine had at least 12 children that I know of. Of those 2 were twins that died at birth, and one had left (in her late teenage/early twenties) the family and disappeared. I just reconnected with her son this past year.
Louis and Catherine may have had more children (at least one other is thought to have been adopted). Between the parents and the children the last name changed for some to Schlechta, while others may have kept the Slechta variation. Never really found out why.
Anton & Anna immigrated here from Bohemia to Milwaukee, WI where they spent the rest of their lives.
Do these dates and names ring any bells for anyone?

There are a couple facebook groups out there for Slechta's. I host the one called Slechta History. I use it for the same purpose as my blog, to research the Slechta name. Feel free to join the group and tell other Slechta's about it.
