John (NY),
Still another way of looking at the mystery of are we related, but this time with even more detail.
My Family Relations
- John P. Elcik, V (1986) – My son, Science Teacher
- John P. Elcik, IV (1952) – Me, Doctorate in Educational Administration, College Administrative Software Marketing
- John P Elcik, III (1928) – My father had a career in the U.S. Navy and electronic communications.
- John P Elick (Jr.) (1896-1963) – My Grandfather, Worked in the Pejepscot Paper Company and lived in Lisbon Falls, Maine.
- John Elsik (Sr.) (1866-1941) – My Great Grandfather was born in (Parhovjani S, Czechoslovakia, Slovenia) and immigrated to America in 1891. Worked in a woolen mill and later a paper mill as a “pulp man.” For a time, he lived in Durham, Maine.
Your Family Relations
- John Elcik (born?) – You, Education
- John Elcik (born?) – Your Dad
- John J. Elcik (1943-2018) – Your Grandfather
- [1912-1917 year born?] – Your Great Grandfather
- John P. Elcik (1886-1962) – Your presumptive Great-Great-Grandfather was born in (Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovakland) and immigrated to America in 1906. Worked in a paper mill and Lived in Durham, Maine.
There is ten years difference in age between my Great Grandfather and your Great-Great-Grandfather.
My Great Grandfather immigrated in 1891, and I believe your Great-Great-Grandfather immigrated in 1906, i.e., 15 years later.
What we want to find out is the relationship between my Great-Grandfather and your Great-Great-Grandfather. Because of their ages, I know it was not a parental one. I suspect they were cousins. What do you think? Do you have access to a family history that could help us?
My limited understanding of European economics and politics suggests that Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovakland, and Slovenia were all of the same general areas in Europe. Who ruled when determined what you called it.
