John,
I don’t have a picture of the gravestone, but I can send you the one Earl sent me. It’ll be a different email address, one that I use for my personal emails. You should be able to enlarge it. That’s what I did, and I had to do it several times to see the letters. I may go to the cemetery tomorrow to see if I can get a close-up. The letters are raised rather than engraved.
It’s definitely OK to use the Ilcik spelling for both groups. I’m not sure it’ll spark any interest in a DNA test. If people want to do that, they would have already done it. At least, that’s my feeling.
You asked me about Jack’s DNA test. I can’t find it. I have mine, and his is MIA at the moment. I’m so upset with myself. I have lots of documents and Ancestry info for my family in my office, and it may be mixed up with that. I’ll keep looking for it.
I’m switching to my email to send you the picture Earl sent me.
Stay tuned,
Beth
