Another Hricko Sister

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.
