Historical NotesThis cradle descended from donor Tyna Kaltenbaugh’s mother, Ann Pazzynski’s family. Her parents Washil Onyshko and Ann Wityk Onyshko were both from the Ukraine and settled in the Woods Run area of Pittsburgh. This cradle (or kaliska) was used by many members of the family and family lore says it came from the Ukraine with the Onyshko family.
