Frank Slechta born in 1845

It has been a while since I posted anything, but I have been working towards my goal.  I have been scanning in and restoring some old pictures I received from my Grandmother.  

This weekend I took a break from that because I noticed Ancestry.com was giving free access to immigration records, so I decided to take advantage of that.  So far I have found some information I needed and some I wanted, but not necessary to my goal.  All though the Mika descendants of Charles Mika, who my ancestors adopted, may be happy I found.  I found that his parents came over on the same ship as my ancestors.  I still don't know what happened to Charles Mika's parents, but it gives me names and places to look.

I did find the my Great Great Grandfather came over on the same ship as a Franz Schlechta.   I found a Frank Slechta's naturalization record, but not much else as of yet.  If anyone has a Frank( Franz or Francis) Slechta in their Ancestry that was born in 1845, please contact me.

Thanks,
Paul
