Hello,
Yes, I wrote him last year. I had a translator write a copy in his language for me. (She was very helpful.) And I sent both copies together. I haven't heard from him. I also wrote any Icha I could find. No responses yet.
Since working on my cousin's lineage (over a year) I hadn't really returned to mine. Someone at the Hungarian Society in Cleveland suggested that I send photos along with my next letters..just to show that I am really interested in finding my family and not 'asking' for anything. I know I still have family in Hungary because my grandfather told me that only his grandfather's family came over. All of his grandfather's family (any brothers, sisters, etc.) remained in Hungary or other parts of that region. And my Great grand aunt went back and forth visiting relatives.
When I send the next batch of letters I am hoping that I receive a letter back saying, "Yes. We have a copy of that same picture..or of that picture..."
Sincerely
Theresa (Iha) Hurlburt
