Just came back from painting the Easter Eggs. Like Ashley, I grew up painting the eggs on Saturday evening. Here in Singapore it is Saturday evening now so we keep that tradition alive in our family. And Ashley, try as we might, we still haven't been able to find a connection between my mother also from Mrkopalj and your family.

We will dye the eggs this evening also. They will be served with green onions on Easter Sunday as grandma always said that "If you eat green onions on Easter Sunday morning, you won't see a snake all year!" I'm not sure it really works that way, but we've always done it and it gets a laugh! My grandfather, Butkovich was from Mrkopalj and Grandma was a Padovic from Sunger. I'm always looking for "cousins" to connect.

Vicki and others I am especially interested in the BUTKOVIC connection in Mrkopalj but I do also have some stray PADEVIC names, I think in Canada. Do I remember writing several years ago to you, Vicky, for a while, trying to connect up? It was at least one e - mail address back and probably two or three hard drive crashes ago and just tonight I am not going to take time to find the stored files. Please remind me, anyone who is interested. I did do some work last summer especially on various more distant family branches.
