How wonderful to hear from you!! We are related. My maternal grandmother, Josephine, was Richard's older sister. Richard was the youngest of five children. I have information on each of grandmother's siblings except Richard...probably because he moved out of state. I would appreciate it if you could provide me with his birth date, birthplace, who he married & when (I think her name was Hazel, right?), and when he died. I am happy to share with you any information that I have on the family!

I have no information at all on Joseph Dedic's parents/family nor on his wife's (Anna Pocenik Dedic's) parents or family. I have contacted many of the local relatives and no one seems to know.

The timing of your response is wonderful as Mom and I are having some of Anna Dedic's family over for lunch tomorrow. As you may know Anna & Joseph were siblings of Richard; they were twins born on July 22, 1888 in Nove Mesto, Bohemia. They were born 4 years after my grandmother.

I would welcome the opportunity to e-mail back & forth with you. My direct e-mail address is jeaniemoll@comcast.net.

Have you been able to gather many family details from the old country? I have not been able to find much information from the old country.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Jeanie
