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?

 

Chris can be found on facebook.  You can also join the Slechta History group on facebook and see his post and responses to his post.

Facebook Group

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.

Thanks Paul

Request for Information

I noticed from my visitor tracker that there are a number of visitors to my blog from the Europe area. Anyone in that area, or anywhere for that matter, who can help with information or would be willing to look at images and translate them from Czech to English I would really appreciate it. You can post a message to me here or I can be found on Facebook.

Thank you,
Paul Slechta

Slechta's IN Iowa

I talked with the first Slechta's in Minnesota that I can not link to my Ancestral tree.  This is as of yet anyway.  Virginia Slechta said the her husband has relatives in the Denison, Iowa area.   So if you have relatives that originated from that area let me know, maybe I can help you connect with relatives that can help with tracing your family past.  I contacted her via her grandson enquiring about their family lineage.  I am fairly confident that if all Slechta's trace the family lineage back far enough they will all link together somewhere in the Bohemia area of the Czech Republic.

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?
