My immediate family on my dad's side pretty much all live in Cambria County (in Western, PA.) My investigations, though, have led me to family in Ohio, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Florida, and Arizona. (It seems like one cousin may have even gotten married in Las Vegas!)
I found something weird at the National Archives today, though. I was trying to find my (I think) Great Aunt Rosalie and Great Uncle Jacob's naturalization petitions. No luck with that, but then I searched randomly on Footnote and found this:
Auto Shears 16 Fenceposts
Johnstown, PA - An automobile driven by George Gritzer sideswiped a truck, and sheared off 16 fenceposts and seven small trees. But Gritzer and his companion, Mike Yacynch, escaped without a scratch.
Huh.
The weirdest thing of all? This was in the Hutchinson News Herald, of Menno, South Dakota, May 27, 1937.
I also don't know who Mike Yacynych was. My dad wasn't born then, and he's the only Mike so far in our family that I know.
Strange.
Anybody else have a clue?
