In research like this, deadends a foregone conclusion. Call it being naive but in my utopian thinking during this project (which, I'll admit, has surpressed any trace of pragmatism necessary to offset my overly optimistic mindset), never did I actually believe that my research would lead to a deadend. A foolish notion but nonetheless true.
I finally got a hold of Tom Hritzko in Minnesota. According to Steve Hricko in California, he believed that he and Tom were cousins. Over the last three weeks, I left several messages at Tom's residence but to no avail. Through Steve, I finally reached him and talked to him at length. He DID confirm that his mother and Steve's mother MIGHT be related. If his informatio is true, then unfortunately, there is no direct relation (only a relation by marriage).
I still have a lead or two to explore. If those do not pan out, the Hricko side will be complete. At least as far as I can go with the information that I have.
