Katka sent me a whole bunch of information via regular mail about our family in Budimir. When I got the letter, I was so excited! She promised to teach me a few Slovak phrases and send me some pictures. Written in excellent English, Katka filled me in on the lives of our relatives there. It was so cool! I didn't completely understand our relationship to them so Patty explained it to me: "We are related to them by the grandmother Alzbeta who was [my great-] Grandpa Biacovsky's brother,George's, daughter. So she was actually [my great-] Grandpa's niece and he probably saw her as a child. That is the main connection, but she also has two other living siblings as well. They also live in Budmir."
Patty also told me about a book that Katka's father and sister wrote. It is all about the rich history of Budimir. Patty and Dave are trying to translate it from Slovak to English. It must be fascinating. Budimir is located near Kosice, one of the largest cities in Slovakia. I hope to see both places one day.
Dakujem, Katka!!
