Internet Post

I tried the e-mail shown below, but is does not appear to be active.  I saw the below post on the internet and was curious.  My ancestors came from Sadska and the last names are similar.  My last name is Slechta the Latin spelling is Schlechta.  My ancestors came to the US along with Hruska's, Anton I believe.  I will have to check my notes.  The name Donat is mentioned in some records I have.   So I would like to converse more on these name. 


Researching: HRUSKA, SCHLEETA, DOHAT, SPOLLSTA
Anton Hruska born Nov. 8, 1849 in Sadska, Bohemia--Father Antah Hruska, Mother Katherine Schleeta. Mary or Marie Donat born Nov. 19, 1850 in Sadska Ajchbury--Father Vaday Dohat, Mother Maria Spollsta.

Link to Czechs in Nebraska

Here is a link to some information on Czechs in Nebraska of which the name Slechta is included.  It refers to a "Vaclav Slechta, Sadska".  I have a Vaclav Slechta as an ancestor who was from Sadska.  I am trying to match him up with others who have a Vaclav Slechta as an ancestor.

My Recollection by Mary Slechta book review

As promised I completed reading the book by Mary Slechta called "My Recollections".

Mary takes you through her life from her childhood in Jugoslavia, her arrival in America, getting married, life in California, her world travels and her and Adolph's retirement. I'm not going to summarize the book, because it is not a very long book, but I will post names and places from the book. In doing this I hope I can provide some links for others looking for their family history.


The books starts with James Zumer in Jugoslavia. James was born in Bohemia, but his family migrated to a small village named Lipovljani in Croatia. He married Maria Paul after going to America, making some money and returning home. Mary had 3 brothers named Ernie, Joe and James. She married Adolph Slechta Oct. 28, 1926. Adolph had 5 siblings Charley, Joe, Emil, Jarmila and Alfred.

Mary's first home in America was East Saint Louis, Illinois. This is where Mary first met the Slechta family and here future husband Adolph. Adolph, his father, and brother's Joe and Charley played music in a band at the Czech activities in the community they lived in.

Papa Slechta, as referred to by Mary, came to the United States from somewhere over in the same area as the Zumer family. Mary refers to some pictures that where taken of the farm where Papa Slechta lived.

Mary and Adolph lived in Los Angeles, Corona del Mar, wintered in Rancho Mirage and retired to Leisure World in Laguna Hills.

There are other names and dates in this book, I hope someone finds this information helpful. If you do please post a response. I would be curios to know. There are photos in this book.

The book is called "My Recollections" by Mary Slechta. ISBN 0-943498-65-5
