I am grandaughter (age 53) of Eva Kwochka. One of Eva's sisters was Libby and one of the cousins, Vera. Genevieve was another cousin in Syracuse, NY and there was someone else, but I forget her name...I think it was Elaine...she left all of them and settled in California. Theresa lived in Flint, Michigan, but passed away many years ago. Randy was Martha's son ( Martha was another sister of Eva), and last I know, she lived in Arizona. Vera was really cool. Is she still living? Eva married John Nicholas Smerek and they lived in Mayfield, Pennsylvania. He worked as a coal miner and died in the Flu epidemic during the early 1900's. Eva lived in Garfield, NJ with her son (my Dad) John, up until her death from a brain tumor in 1971. My father died in 1968 in Arizona trying to amend a falling out with Martha. My mom, Eleanor, lived until she was 80. My sister, Leslie resides in Cotati, California with husband, Jeff and daughter Remy. My brother, Walter in Westwood, NJ, with wife, Donna, and daughter, Rebecca. I live in Pennington, NJ, divorced, with my two daughters: Nora and Kara. Would love to hear from someone with other family news and see how our "little tribe" is doing. Ciao! Ruth

Libby was a Kwochka because she married John Kwochka. Eva, Theresa and Martha were Chulick, as was Libby prior to her marraige. Martha married Harry...I don't remember his last name. Genevieve married Grant, who had a son. I don't know their last name either. So really the only Kwochka was Libby, and her daughters: Vera, Genevieve, and Elaine.

Update..
Vera Kwochka passed away on Mar 1st, 2006.. I believe her sister Genieve passed away a number of years ago while her other sister Elaine is alive and well in Simi Valley California..
