So much for taking a break from posting...
Yesterday, my wife, sister and I spent ~5 hours at the Raykovitz family homestead.
Our plan of attack for the day? The dreaded basement.
Items that most would consider "of value" were removed from the property years ago. What we are dealing with now are the last few boxes and other items that were mothballed, in some cases, over six decades ago.
Grandma Raykovitz's Stations of the Cross prayer book from 1936 was one of the many priceless finds yesterday. For those of us who remember her, we know how many times Mary Barbara (Geffert) Raykovitz must have held this STACJE DROGI KRZYZOWEJ in her hands.
Trust me...you do not want to miss what I will be posting in the days and weeks ahead.
P.S.: Another descendant of John and Mary Raykovitz, Frank's daughter Cathy, stopped by the homestead yesterday to pic up a picture of her parents on their wedding day that we discovered along with many others.
