Craig is Ed Gavala's cousin and a descendant of my great-grandmother's sister. He emailed this family wedding photo.

Jack, I made a copy of the photo on the copy machine at work. I am going to number the people in the photo and sit down with her and identify them on the photo copy. I'll send you the legend when I get all the people named that she can remember. I wrote some of it down when I picked up the picture for scanning.

The picture is Mike Gavala's (my mom's brother) wedding picture.

Top row 4th from right: Paul Pachuta

2nd row from top, 3rd from right: Mary Pachuta. She is my mom's 2nd cousin. Her father was my mom's 1st cousin and my mom's mother was her great Aunt.

2nd row from top, 1st from right is mom's cousin Mary Vahalla

2nd row from top, 2nd from right is mom's sister Mary Gavala married name is Mary Smee, still living.

When I get the rest identified I'll send it to you. I have a most of what I have on my web site. You can get to it one of two ways. You can go to www.blaskofamily.com and follow the link at the bottom, of you can go directly to it using www.geocities.com/cablasko. I am going to add a link from mine to yours.

Mary and Paul Pachuta are my aunt and uncle (my father's siblings). My Aunt Julie has a copy the same picture. She also remembers a Blasko family that lived next to the union hall in Black Top. And, she knows Mary Valhalla's daughter through Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Lore City.

Hello All

I have added a form to allow you and others to submit information to me on family members for validation and posting. The form is the same as a standard genealogy Family Group Sheet. The form is the old paper/pencil method of doing what is now done by genealogy programs.

It is the basic building block to the family tree and is what I use to produce the information you see when you select a family member that I have already posted on our internet family tree. Please feel free to use the form to help me update our family tree. I could really use information for the newly married members of the family. I have also changed the layout slightly and added some new menu options.

Some are working and some are not. If you have suggestions for additions let me know and I will gladly add them into the site. Remember, the site is for all of us. I would like to add a story section. The kind of stories that our grand parents used to tell us when we were little. If you have any favorite stories from them or any other type of stories you want added send them to me and I will add them in. 

This offer is also open to our adopted members of the family like Helen and Hardy Blasko in Australia. For those of you that do not know about the Blasko's in Australia, they are Helen and Hardy. Helen found me when trying to register the name Blasko as a domain name. We have been keeping in touch fairly regular. They are a great group of people and have there own section on our family web site. Their address is h_blasko@bigpond.com.
