Another jackpot. Last night, I spent a half an hour speaking with Patricia Barber, yet another distant cousin whom I was made aware by Betty Senich (Hricko), my grandmother's first cousin.
I made my first call to her several weeks ago at her home in Ohio. About a week later, she left a message saying she was living in Florida through the winter. Lucky her.
I then called her at her home in Florida and was amazed at the amount of information she had and conversely, how much information I DIDN'T have about her, her parents, aunts, uncles, etc. Her grandfather Aftonas Hricko (he lived in Cleveland on Denison Avenue) didn't have 5 children as I thought through my other research, he had NINE! Patricia filled in the blanks on most of the nine children as well as gave me the addresses and phone numbers of other people related to her (and me), some who happen to live very close to me. As per her request, I sent her a copy of my branch of the family tree which starts with her Great Aunt Mary Hricko.
Once I compile my notes this weekend, I am sure another call to Patricia will be needed to complete this section.
