Baby Girl Breaks Ridgewood Family's 156-Year 'Boy Streak': Report
Christine and Chris Zioboro's daughter Eve is the first girl born in the family since 1860.
RIDGEWOOD, N.J. — A village family broke a 156-year-long streak of only having boys when Eve Zioboro was born on Sept. 10, 2015, People.com reported.
"We named our daughter Eve because she's the first girl in the Bible," Christine Ziobro told People.
The last girl born into the Zioboro family before Eve came in 1860, the website reported. Katerina Zioboro was born in Poland, the youngest of six children. Katerina and her sisters had no children and her brothers only had sons, according to the report.
That trend continued for four generations, up to Chris Zioboro and his three brothers. Zioboro's brothers each had two sons, the report said.
