In case this helps anyone. I was fortunate to get some information on Strachotas from a cousin in Canada who had some one in Europe doing investigation for him. I'd be happy to share.

Grandfather: Peter Strachota, b 1875 St Killian WI, his father, John (Johann) b 1840 Pulice, Czech Republic, Bohemia, his father Johann born 1812, his father Michal, born abt 1787, his father Georg, b abt 1750, his father Adam b abt 1720, his father Jirzikh b abt 1700.

Have some spouses (Straka, Klein, Strobel, Hall)and siblings as well.
