My birthname was Schlachetke, I was born just outside Stolp. My father’s name was Gustav and his father’s and brother’s name was Otto. I don’t know of any relatives named Ernst or Clara, but I am sure there is a connection since very few families spelled there name with one T, as told by my father.

Hallo to anybody,
My birthname was Schlachettke and my father came from Stolp (today Slupsk in Poland) The first name of my father was Ernst and his father’s name was Otto.
It would be nice to hear from other Schlachettkes. My grand mother spelt her name Clara Schlachetke (Birthname Rimpler) i.e. with one T.

I saw the post with your brother Tom and it reminded me to take a photo of this painting I had done of him when he was in my art class at Plainfield High School — Tom was a favorite of mine and in fact, I still have a bowl he made in a ceramics class I taught, sitting on the shelf in my office. The link is to the painting I have hanging in my dining room.

Your photography is lovely – I particularly admire the portraits. I’ve been following your blog for several years – I had originally found this blog when I was looking to send Tom a photo of this painting after I’d rediscovered it – but continued because I found your photography so compelling.

So now, years later, I finally get around to taking a picture and sending it on.

I was born Andrea R. Schlachet in Chicago, IL in 1941. My grandfather, Herman Schlachet immigrated from Novi Tag in the Tetra Mountains to the US when he was 11 to live with his sister. He moved to Chicago and began an apprenticeship as a pharmacist. He and my father, Daniel B. Schlachet, owned Schlachet’s Pharmacy on Madison and Lotus in Chicago until I was 10. My sister Carolyn was losing her hearing due to allergies and the Dr’s recommended we move to a warmer climate. California here we come. At that time we went to court and changed our last name to Hartley. My Dad’s brother had changed his to Hartley years before for business reasons so it made sense to use the Hartley name. I lived in SoCal until 1982 when I moved to Dallas, TX for 20 years. I now live in Burneyville, OK with my husband Joe. I have two grown daughters and 3 wonderful grandchildren.

My mom’s maiden name was Schlachetke. From the old German province of Pommerania. Was a WW2 refugee and ended up in northern Germany as a young girl before emigrating to Canada in the early 1950′s.

Probably a derivation of Schlachet.

Cheers.
