[Hurt sisters: Anna, Emma, Tillie and Mary.]

Things are beginning to settled in around here while I do some catching up on medical checkups and updating of our websites. Also heard via email from a distant HURT cousin, Melissa Prohaska from Omaha, Nebraska. I have since added the below information to my Paris/Hurt genealogy at ancestry.com (Paris Pioneers-Master file. The image on the left is just one of many HURT family photos that Melissa sent me.

Melissa says, "On my mother's father's side there is a HURT connection. I have the names of John Hurt and Anna Wallman as our great great grandparents, but didn't have much else about them except a list of all of their children and spouses. Nothing about when those two would have immigrated to America. My brother-in-law gets on their computer, and Googles something and comes up with your "ParisTimes website. This is where you start out saying you began your search for HURT relatives on Memorial Day 1997 in a cemetery by Chester, Oklahoma. I am reading your article about my relatives There is a serious omission in your infer, and it's about the part that connects us."

Melissa goes on to explain, "YOu list 7 children for Joseph and Anna and start with John who was born in 1880 in Nebraska, married Clara Kachel. According to my family tree, Joseph and Anna's first child was Anna Hurt who was born in 1880. My chart shows John was born in September 1882. My chart then goes on to match your info re: Joseph, Carrie, Mathilda, Emma, Mary and Lucy. Ann Hurt was my great grandma. She married Victor Shihan Sr. in 1896. They had 3 children: Victor Jr, Anna and Helen. Victor Jr was my grandfather. They all stayed in Nebraska. I know that Anna's brothers and sisters eventually settled in Oklahoma."

Anna Wallman and Joseph Hurt Family. They had 8 children, the oldest being Anna and youngest was Lucy.

Anna Hurt married Victor Shihan, Sr. They had 3 children: victor Jr., Anna Helen. Victor Jr. married Sylvia Tichy. Sylvia was 100% Czech. Victor and Sylvia Tichy had 7 children: Betty, Alice, Dorothy, Richard, Genevieve, Robert and Helen Ruth. Betty Shihan married Marlowe Olson, and they had 3 children: Melissa, Maria and Melora.

Melissa says, "The only relatives I have listed above my line that are still alive are Richard, Genevieve and Helen Ruth. They are 80, 79 and 73, and live in Lincoln or Omaha, Nebraska."

I am still updating our website at ParisTime Pioneers, adding Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Bob's Legacy, Gene's Legacy and Vada's Diary to that site from the okielegacy.net"> OkieLegacy website. Until we get these pages done, some pages may show up with an unorganized formatting. We do have Gene and Vada's legacy pages updated, and are still working on Uncle Bob's, Grandma and Grandpa's pages.

We heard from a new HURT cousin this last week, and got to fill in some much needed genealogical blanks in our maternal HURT family genealogy.
