A Hiemenz question

Today I had a chance to talk with Marcy and Eddie Hiemenz again, and, with this photo in mind, I asked if one of Marcy's sisters had married one of Eddie's brothers?

Yes, Marcy said, her oldest sister Eleanor married Eddie's brother Herman. Oops! That's not these two...but Josephine was a Czech, just like Marcy, and Victor is definitely Eddie's brother. Doesn't she look like Marcy, too?

Couple weeks later, we got a note from this couple's daughter, Renee-YAY! She said Josephine is Marcy's cousin, so no wonder they look so similar ☺. Renee mentioned this photo of the Martin Czech family and said her grandpa is Michael, one of the sons in that pic, and Marcy's dad (Frank or Pete) is there too.

THANK YOU, RENEE ! ☺
