John E. Ptacek (b. 11/11/1861) m. Mary A. Bouckova Sept. 1884. In 1912 he became Chicago Police captain of the Lawndale district.
They had six children, out of which two died at a very early age. The oldest daughter Lillian married Edward Frantisek Zahrobsky. Edward J. Ptacek m Edna. Grace V. married Ralph Hatzel. And son John E. married Lola Morgan.

Any information regarding this family would greatly appreciated.

Surnames: zahrobsky or ptacek
My family in Berwyn IL was close with the Lil Ptacek who married Ed Zahrobsky, I know I met Lil as a child and I have some photos, etc.
They had a son who graduated from West Point and he had 2 sons who are probably in their early 40's in 2002.

Dear Michelle-I never expected to get a hit when I entered my grandmother's maiden name, Grace Vivian Ptacek, on this website. I was shocked to see details of my family in your message. I am Grace's granddaughter (and namesake) and would love to hear from you. Are you John & Lola's child? When Grace married Ralph (you have Hatzel but my mom spells her maiden name Hetzel) they had 2 daughters. Mary-Alyce (that's my mom) and Charlotte Ann. Grace has 3 other grandchildren, Loren Ann, John Edward, (the legacy continues) and Charlotte Alyce. Loren and I are 45 yrs old, John's 44 and Alyce is 35. I can't wait to hear from you!! Sincerely-Grace

Lillian Zahrobsky was my Aunt. Her sister Grace V. Ptacek was my maternal Grandmother. I was fortunate to have them both in my life until my early 20's. My Mom, Dad, Lill, Grace and I traveled to Florida every Spring. We drove (no air conditioning) and would always stay @ the same little hotel on the beach (Villa Venice) in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Before Lill died, she lived in Riverside, IL in an apt across from the Burlington RR. There was a bowling alley across the street and while my Mom bowled on a league, Aunt Lill would take care of me-she was so cool. Any memories you can share with me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Grace (named after my Grandmother), Hope to hear from you.

I am related to the Chicago Ptaceks. I have seen photos of John E. Ptacek, police captain. I can send you a link to the Sun Times photo archives if you like.

Michelle,

I believe that my Ptacek line may be related to yours. I think your John M. and Anna Ptacek are buried in St. Adalbert's cemetery (Chicago, IL) right next to my relatives. Their grave marker is written in Czech, but John (Jan)'s birthdate is 20 Mar 1836 so this may be it.

My grandmother always talked about the "cousins in Cleveland" but I have just started my research and do not yet know what/who the connection is.
