I am a little bit late on this but how could I miss this
one! Seriously, did you notice my name: Ruczhak! It was Americanized when my
grandfather went to school and the teacher couldn’t pronounce or spell it
(could you just imagine the backlash if teachers actually did that now?). My
grandfather was born Joseph Hruszczak and his father kept the spelling
throughout his life here.
This week’s prompt for the 52 Ancestor Challenge is “How do
you spell that?” Sure, there have been some interesting misspellings along the
way. All in all though, my Hruszczak line has actually been one of my easier
lines to trace (here in America ),
unlike my Walsh line, to name just one of my more difficult lines.
