Chronology of Hricko Research

Over the last 2 months, I've had several phone conversations with members of the Hricko family. Since then, I've added around 100 new names to the Hricko branch. How did this all come to be? Here is a brief synopsis of how I obtained the information.

Back in March of 2006, I spoke with my grandmother Mary Baldine about the family and she gave me the name of her distant cousin Betty Senich (Hricko). So I called her and spoke with her at length. She gave me more Hricko names--her brothers, sisters and some of her cousins. Among those names was a gentleman by the name of Stephan Hricko who is also a cousin. He's 91 and lives in Los Angeles. After several phone conversations with Steve, I was able to add a whole slew of names along with some other bits of trivia. He then gave me the names of his cousins who live in upstate New York also names Hricko. After speaking with his cousin Bob Hricko, his sister Darlene and her daughter Katrina, the Hricko side of the tree is now about 80% complete.

During my last conversation with Stephan Hricko, he gave me the phone number of a potential cousin who is priest in San Diego. Hopefully, that will unearth more Hricko information.
