Okay I'll try to explain this the best I can.
When I first asked for all the info my mother knew on her side of the family. She gave me her mothers (my grandmothers) name as Alexandra Marie Hricik(b1928d1991) (madien) Alexandra's mother as Marie and Alexandra's father as John.
I wasn't having much luck except with searching my grandmother Alexandra Marie, I was quickly able to find her death record but I knew that any way.
So my mother who recently moved was going thru a box and called me this week. She found my grandmothers birth cert. with a paper attached that says Legal Name change and has dates for 1944. Birth cert. has her listed as Alice Marie Hrycyk her father as Alexander Hricik(d.1969) and mother as Agnes Blowus (with a hand written note by my grandmother that says BILOWUS).
I then quickly found another listing of death for my grandmother(Alexandra/Alice) with the correct dates and the name Alice. Then I found a death listing for Alexander Hricik with the proper year of death according to my mother. However I can't find anything regarding census info or anything on anyone in the family (there also was a son John Hricik b1916 d1987).
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions/advice on how to go about my search for this branch of the tree. I know there are living relatives from John Hricik (the son of Alexander and Anges) however I don't know them.
I know Alex/John Hricik (d1969) and Agnes/Marie both were said to be from Russia and I know that Alexandra/Alice and John were both born in Ohio(Cleveland,Strongsville?).
Thank You in advance for any input any seasoned researchers might have.
