Joseph Rostek and Annie Clear/Clare

Joseph Rostek and Annie Clear/Clare

I helped a friend trace their line back to a Joseph Rostek and Annie Clear / Clare who immigrated to Canada from Bohemia /Germany /Czech / Poland. Wasn't able to trace it back any further, except Annie's parents are named in her death certificate as Frank Clear and Annie Wagner. Annie's death certificate also listed her birth date as Sept 28th, 1880.

Recently I came across this birth record:
Name:Antonie Anna Berta Klahr
Gender:Female
Birth Date:8 Sep 1884
Birth Place:Breslau, Schlesien, Preußen, Germany
Father:Wilhelm Klahr
Mother:Anna Wagner

I think it is the same person. I did a quick Google search and learned Klahr was the surname that became the North Americanized Clear/Clare. And that got me thinking... I was unable to trace the Rostek line further because the spelling was probably changed from the original when the family originally immigrated here. Was wondering if anyone who may have researched this family before has any idea of what the original name was?
