Sadska Slechtas

Well I got the results back from the researcher in Sadska.  He got back to 1738 so one more time with him and he should be able to finish off Sadska for me.  I do know Slechta’s arrived in Sadska about 1670, so I hope there will be information on where they came from before Sadska.  If any Slechta’s, Schlechta’s or Slechtova’s came from Sadska I could give you the researchers name and e-mail address.  He could surely help find information for you.  Also, if anyone has ancestors from there please contact me.  We may be able to link the information with what I have and work together to get further back. 

 

Yes the researcher does cost money and yes splitting up the cost would help.

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 

Back at it....

My daughter's graduation party is behind me now and I back at Slechta Research.

I keep posting this, but the more Slechta information I can get from those who visit this site the easier the research becomes.

Any Slechta or Slechta descendant that is willing to share their information with me please contact me. 

Thank you,
Paul

After reading the blazon on the document image I posted the animal is a greyhound not a wolf.  Here is what a greyhound signifies.

Greyhound - Courage, vigilance, and loyalty

Slechta Name History

I had been looking for something I bought from a Historical Research Center for some time now and my wife came across it today.  I had the research center research the origin of the Slechta name.  I had this for about 11 years now, but after we moved it got packed away and I forgot what was on it.  It is ironic how I had a lot of the information I dug around and found in the last few years.  Well at least it confirms what I found.  Here is the scanned text off of the certificate I received.  Take note at the bottom of the scanned image.  The blazon of arms confirms the coat-of-arms I posted on this blog.

Schlechtbach

I recently sent a request to a genealogy site asking about the Slechta name and the two coat-of-arms they had and this is a response I received.  I plan to follow up with them to find out what else they have.

In searching our offline database, provided by our research team, we have found a listing for the surname Slechta from Czechoslovakia.  However, in taking a closer look at the details of this history it is noted that the surname derives from the Middle High German "sleht" and the Middle Low German "sleht", meaning "simply, straight, humble".  The surname is also noted as being derived from the town named Schlechtbach, which is located in southwestern Germany.  Research also shows record of a village by this name in the Rhineland region.

In searching further, we do have an exact listing for the surname spelling of Schlechte from Germany.  It appears to have the same meaning as described above from both the Middle High & Middle Low German word of "sleht".  The village of Schlechtbach in the Rhineland region is also mentioned.  It does appear that this surname listing does have a seperate coat of arms than that mentioned before with the spelling from Czechoslovakia.
