Slavo met us for an early breakfast and then we were off to Klenov to do more research on Nina’s grandmother’s side of the family. After visiting with the clerk in the office she put us in touch with some family members from Presov and Kosice who will join us in Klenov again tomorrow. A quick trip up to the cemetery and we were off to drive again. This time we were headed to Nitra in western Slovakia near Bratislava. Nina as a second cousin living there that she has never met.

We met Ivan Mihalik and his daughter and granddaughter over dinner in Nitra, a wonderful city. Through our dinner conversations we came to find out about Nina’s relatives and also that I am most likely related to him as well. We are hoping to meet with him again on our next visit.

We are back to Klenov tomorrow for hopefully more connections on Nina's grandmother's side of the family. Until then...
