  	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%8C%C3%A1slav 22 May 2022 - on ancestry.com there is a naturalization record for a Joseph RUZICKA (b. 20 May 1886) who resided in Chicago, IL. He lists his place of birth as Caslav, CZ (it is misspelled on the document). We have never tied our family to the IL RUZICKA family but this is a crazy coincidence.
