The Pelcarsky Puzzle Kept Me up

Beth,

I have found three significant references to Pelcarsky in addition to Mary Pelcarsky that married my Great Grandfather. I also reduced the number of relevant documents (unduplicated facts) to three.

# 1 is your trip to Mt. Calvary Cemetary

Anna Pelcarsky 17 SEP 1877 – 22 MAR 1940 = Annie M.

Joseph Karkos 23 MAR 1867 – 21 JUL 1957 = Joseph Paul

Albert Karkos 01 MAR 1914 – 31 JAN 1915

There is a second son: Joseph Thomas Karkos who marries Mildred Aris Alexander. Mildred Aris Alexander’s parents are Edgar Butler Alexander and Mabel Palmer.

[Comment: If it is true that Anna Pelcarsky is our Mary’s sister then this means there are two ties between the Karkos and Elcik families (one generation apart).

Anna Pelcarsky (1877-1940) marries Joseph Karkos (1867-1957)

Annie Elcik (1905-1982) marries George F. Karkos (1899-1965)

I think this is true, but it would be good to verify with George E. Karkos.]

#2 is Maria Pelcarsky who is married to Paul Ilcik and has a daughter Annie Ilcik.

Annie marries Andrew Basala on 19 JAN 1911

Andrew Basala’s parents are John Basala and Annie Chismar.

[Comment: Whether Paul Ilcik is a Durham Elcik is unverified. I’m also working to find out if Maria Pelcarsky is related to our Mary Pelcarsky.]

#3 is Mary Pelcarsky in the 1930 United States Census (NOT OUR MARY)

Mary was born in Czechoslovakia in 1901 and married Joseph Pelcarsky also born in Czechoslovakia.

They have three sons: Joseph, Edward, Emil; and five daughters: Anna, Hele, Margaret, Mary Phillips, Rose

[Comment: There are other Pelcarsky‘s in Ohio that I stopped researching once I was sure that this was a different Mary Pelcarsky and her relatives.]
