LHSwisher,

As always, thanks! ;).

We have a conflict, it's John Reska/Raska, not Joseph we're searching for, however I think Joseph Raska might have been a brother of John (b abt 1869).

I think this is 1900 Census for the family (mangled surname) in Detroit: John, Augustina, Anthony, John, Sophie, the ages of the children are a pretty close match from other data I found (working from the marriage records of them).
