Help[Surname] Re: Kurecka, meaning and origin in Czech, Slovakian, Moravian, Polish
in reply to a message by Jim Young
Hi Jim,
Well, that's a start.
Jim, you did understand that this Kurecka name is a surname.
Therefore, given by her father and has passed down in generations to present day. I have relatives relatively nearby with the name Kurecka in and around San Angelo, TX.
My Great grandmother Anna Kurecka and family and my great great grandfather Jan Svajda Repa migrated here to the Port of Baltimore USA on the S.S. Baltimore on June 4,1881.
Apparently my great grandfather Jan Repa, named after his dad Jan Svajda Repa, married my great grandmother after migrating to the Taylor, TX community. That would make my great grandfather and great grandmother around 19 and 17 years of age respectively when my grandmother was born. Does that sound plausible?
Their oldest child being my grandmother Lidmilla "Lillian" Repa born
April 28th, 1898 near Taylor, TX.
My grand mothers name, Lidmilla I find on the web as well, however, historically of it's origin and meaning I am steered to the spelling of Ludmilla. Ludmilla being the Americanized spelling, I take it?
Isn't Czech geneology fun with all of these different spellings to go with?
Maybe this sheds some different lights on the Kurecka name now.
Oh, and they are of Czech Moravian descent. That much we do know.
Thanks and my regards,
Jeff
