Subject: [ROOTS-L] SLEPICKA / HRUSKA / CHICKEN / PEAR / CECH / HOSEK / SACK

Searching for others interested in these Czech (Bohemian) surnames.
Grandparents (Michael and Anna (Hruska) Slepicka, married 1879) were living
in Chicago by 1866, believed to have come with their families from near
Prague, Bohemia (Austro-Hungarian Empire).  Also believe that their parents
and siblings remained in Chicago when they moved to Minneapolis in 1881.

For those researching Pair/Pear/Pare or Peary/Perry/Peary, please note that
Hruska/Hruskova directly translates to Pear/Peary and that Czech families
were given to using Americanizations of their surnames.

Slepicka loosely translates to Chicken and it, and a spelling variation of
Slepica, are among the surnames found in this line.

Anna Hruska Slepicka's parents are Martin and Mary Hruska a/k/a Martin and
Mary Pear, and her sister, Barbara, was born in Chicago in 1866.   Another
sister, Mary Hruska, was married to Joseph Sack and one child, Joseph, is
listed in the early Chicago City Directories.  There are city directory
entries for other members of the Pear family in Minneapolis at the time of
my grandparents' relocation to Minneapolis.  Employment of these Pears
connects to the employment of my grandfather and are assumed to be siblings
or cousins of my grandmother.

Would love to share information.
