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?
