Out of the Blue: More Geffert Photos


I began this blog in 2013. 
 
I was rehabbing/recuperating @ home from injuries sustained in a fall on 13 January 13 while cleaning out my mother's family (Raykovitz) homestead in the Mayflower section of Wilkes-Barre. 
 
Over those 6 months, mostly while sitting in a wheelchair, I went through dozens of boxes and containers taken from the Kent Lane property and sorted through hundreds of family photos and documents.
 
Over the almost three years that have passed, mostly through Statcounter, I've seen evidence of people from all over the world visiting this blog. It was my hope that, eventually, family & friends that I've never met would stumble across it and add to the Raykovitz/Geffert - Kras/Maslyk family history with photos, documents and anything else they wished to share.  
 
Turns out another descendant of John Geffert ( my matrilineal grandmother's father ) lives in southeastern PA less than 30 minutes away. He sent the pics below, and I'm hoping there are more to follow from other members of the extended Geffert/Adamczyk family.
 
This is just way too cool.
 
Thanks, Jeff.

  1. Hi!

    Thank You (and Jeff Kascsak) for wedding photo of Sally Geffert and John Adamczyk. John Adamczyk was actually my grand-grand-grandmother's brother. Living members of our family didn't even know about their existence till 2015 when I traced John (and older Stanley) in USA through genealogy sites and research. And thanks to You we were able to see what he looked like! That's fantastic!

    If You have access to any more pictures of John or any other Adamczyk, please let me know!

    Greetings from Poland!

    PS. Surname Geffert is very popular around where I live (villages surrounding city of Krosno), they surely came from that area :)
