Filling in the vacant holes in the tree is proving more difficult than constructing the tree itself. I talked to Ron Hricko in Texas (He is the great-grandson of Aftonas Hricko who, again, is the brother of Mary Hricko, my great, greatgrandmother). Anyway, he was still unsure of a few names that I asked about back in January. However this time, he gave me the phone number of the mother of the names in question! Her name is Edna Grainer (Hricko).
Edna Grainer lives in Farmington Hills, Michigan. After explaining to her who I was (which doesn't really help) and why I was calling and who gave me her phone number, she gladly filled in the holes--her kids, grandkids, etc.
The only holes left on the Aftonas Hricko branch is located on Jim Hricko's small branch, Aftonas's son. Jim Hricko has a daughter named Shirley. She had--from what I found out--three children whose names are a mystery. If she is still alive, she's probably in Cleveland, Ohio. If all of this is true then acquiring her phone number is the next step.
One other hole is on the Wasyl Hricko branch. Wasyl's daughter Julia had a grand daughter Hope who was married to "someone". That someone is who I need to find out, at least his last name. I called Steve Hricko in Los Angeles wondering if he knew. He didn't but he had the phone number of Hope's mom Sue Clark. I called and left a message.
The missing link hanging over this project is Bob Hricko and his information. He's in Elmira, New York. Beyond that, who knows. I need the names of his grandchildren to finish off that side. I have a feeling that I may never get a hold of him due to his lack of a permanent address. Hopefully he will have information on Catherine Hricko and Nicholas Hricko, the last two remaining siblings of eight that make up Hricko tree as we know it.
