Hi Jim,

---

Well, all I can say is the family name of Kurecka is what has passed down through the generations to present day.

---

Whether it is a feminine form of Kurecky or not, I haven't a clue.
I wouldn't think so as it has passed down as a surname and
remember the artist guy's website I spoke of, Kurecka.com?

---

That is today, now, in the old country.

---

So, He has the surname as well.

---

Not to mention the other guy I found on facebook.

---

In the old country too.

---

So, there we have it, a surname for sure still carried forth
in the old country today.

---

I have the pronounciation as "Koorech-Ka", as I understand it.

---

We 'are' getting somewhere, I think, here with more and more data added.

---

Is there such a thing as a Czech/Moravian dictionary translated to English on the web?

---

Also, the Kurecka name had a hash mark over the 'c', if I remember correctly.

---

Maybe this will come out right, I'm copying and pasting the name with the hash mark over the "c": Kureèka. Well, it didn't, it came out as Kureeke.

---

Sometimes this changes to another form of the spelling automatically.

---

So, you think the name means a small rooster or cornish rooster of some sorts??

---

Hummmmmmm.....I woulda never.....

---

Imagine that?

---

Maybe one of the two people I emailed from the old country will write back and give us a little more input to go with this.

---

We still have the origin issue to solve, as well.

---

Thanks for all of the input you've provided though.

---

Your being a big help that we didn't have.
I appreciate that man.

---

Thanks again,

---
