Pliska and Frances Dufek.¹ Frances also went by the name of Fannie.³ She immigrated with her parents in 1888 to the United States of America. They may be the Pliska family that came through Port Baltimore on the ship Strassburg which landed on 23 May 1887. This will need additional research. Family stories indicate that one of the girls was sick with chicken pox and the entire family was detained at the hospital until she recovered.⁴ Follow the icon to see a picture of the Pliska family taken sometime after Frances (Dufek) Pliska died in 1894.
