A few weeks back while talking with Stephan Hricko (my 91 year old cousin) he mentioned yet another Hricko sibling. If I've lost you, here are the main consituents of the main branch of the Hricko tree:
(Rumor has it, there were 10 children. So far, I've only come across six)
Mary Hricko - My Great-great-grandmother
Louis Hricko
Bill Hricko
Aftonas Hricko
Wasyl (William) Hricko
The new sister is named Tekla Hricko. According to Stephan, she lived in Cleveland and attended St. Vladimir Church. He gave me a name and address of a grand daughter of Tekla who lives in Illinois. I called her and was able to get some information albeit in fragmented form due to her Parkinson's Disease which she informed me of at the start of the call. The bottom line: I've got more names.
Upon looking at the Louis Hricko branch, I noticed a bunch of holes that evaded me earlier. So, I gave Betty Senich (my grandmother's first cousin and daughter of Louis Hricko) a call inquiring whether or not she had any information on the "holes" that I found. She is now working on getting four addresses and phone numbers. I should have those sometime next week.
The graph showing what I am doing is coming.....soon....I hope.

Updated Family Tree Count
Almost forgot this one in the last posting:
As of this writing, my research has netted:
256 new family members
...most of whom reside on the Hricko side of the tree. This number does not count husbands or wives of a family member only children.

Shifting Gears Ahead One Generation...
The Hricko tree has burned me out a bit so I have shifted my attention to the Balash side. More specifically, Peter Balash's brothers and sisters and their descendants which lie one generation later on the family tree.
Nick Balash, brother of Peter lived in Pennsylvania and New York. At some point, he and his wife Helen moved to Arizona in an effort to treat her Tuberculosis. They ended up in Denver, Colorado where their family has remained.
Nick has 3 children. Mary, Ann and John. I gave Ann a call and three weeks later, her daughter Sandra called me back informing me that her mother Ann and her Aunt Mary live in a retirement community but she would be happy to talk. Sandra (married name: Meyer) kindly filled in the blanks with the names of her nieces and nephews, cousins and spouses.
