Mary Czaplicka mother’s name was Michalina Kruass/Kraus/Kraus b: 1891 in Poland. Illegitimate child to Anna Kraus who came out before her. Lived in Detroit.Arranged for Michalina to come to America several years later-I think around 1911 -arranged marriage to Felix Czaplicka. married in 1912.
Chn John 1912,Sophie 1914,Stella 1916,Mary 1918,Felix 1921,Walter 1926.
I can’t find anything at all about the dad,Felix. I found a Michalina immigrating 1911-not sure.
Just found out the John changed his name to Suplicky. Have traced the rest of the family.
Just at the moment looking into the marriage of Mary Czaplicka to Paul H Herta.
And yes many use Czaplicki as their surname. Traditionally it was the “a” “i” ending. But I’ve found that if the dad used Czaplicki his daughters used it too.
