I've been trying to connect John Litka and wife Franciska Litka to our Joseph. This John appears on the 1880 U. S. Census for Cook County, IL. His dau, Augusta Litka, born Poland abt 1876. Probably not connected to your Augusta, b. 1863, but the names are nearly identical to the family of Joseph Litke. More comments on Augusta Litke Last.

I am very interested in your Augusta Litke Last. The name "Augusta" was used several times in the family tree. Many of them lived well into their 90s. I know they came from Poland, but I am not certain exactly where. They settled in McLeod County, Minnesota about 1874. Originally sent to Detroit c. 1873.

Anyway, I'll ask her if your ancestor's name sounds familiar!
