Hi all. My name is Brandy Marie Ricker. My mother is Mykle Zoback, my grandfather is Larry Zoback who had 6 (I believe) brothers. Two of them were named Harry and Ruby. My grandmother's maiden name was Minnie Greenberg. I know little to nothing about my Zoback heritage. I know that when my grandfather's parents came to America, their last name was Zebekadinsky (sp?) and some of them chaged their name to Zebeck, Zobeck, and Zoback. Could anybody shed some light on my past? I know my grandfather's parents were Russian/Polish. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Brandy,
We are related! My husband is Mark Zoback (same name as your uncle in California, huh?) and his dad is Irving, who is another brother of your grandfathers. Mark grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Many years ago, when we made a trip out west, we got together with some of your family, including your mom, who was quite young at the time.
Mark and I got married in 1979, and we have two children...
Scott who is 22, and Emily who is 18. How old are you?
You are right about the name originally being different...our understanding is that it was Zabakritsky, and some became Zaback, while others took on "Zoback"...Mark will write tonight or tomorrow and fill you in further. If you have specific questions, let us know, and also fill us in on where you are living, etc. We look forward to hearing from you!
Ronni

Wow, some more relatives that I have never met. Nice to meet you! Yes, your husband's name is the same as my uncle in California. I also live in California. I moved out here from Tucson, AZ about a year and a half ago. I live in southern California whereas my uncle lives in northern California. I am 22, about to be 23 on March 9th. My mother is doing well and is re-married. Her and my father were only married for 9 years and got divorced when I was 6. I have a younger sister named Jesse who has two kids of her own. My grandmother is currently 81 years of age and still living in the same house in Tucson. I am sure that you know that my grandfather died in 1989. Between all 5 of my grandmother's children, they are all married and there are 11 of us grandchildren and now 2 great-grandchildren from my sister. Their names are Autumn Jade and Summer Rayne. I would love to talk to you more, but don't want to include personal information on this very public message post. Please feel free to e-mail me at BrandyRicker82@adelphia.net. I would be happy to give you my address and phone number via e-mail so we can keep in touch. I hope that you had a wonderful holiday season and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi Brandy, My name is Lydia Gilreath Trull. I have been looking for your mother, Mykle Zoback for years!! It has to be the same Mykle, how could there be 2 with such an odd and beautiful name. We were the best of friends in the 70's in Tucson Arizona. I moved to Alabama in 1977 and some how over the years we lost contact. I am so excited to have finally found her. And you, she sent me a picture of you as a baby ( you were adorable by the way!.) If this is the same Mykle Zoback please give her my e-mail address so that we can get in touch. Thank you so much!!! Lydia
