A Couple of Things

I went back to St Cyril cemetery and found Helen Kozak and her husband Michael J. Mosko’s gravestone.  Also, their daughter, Elizabeth E. Goddard, is on there as well.  And yes, you were right about Helen Mosko being your grandfather’s 2nd wife.  I looked at some documents you sent me a while back, and it lists her as his 2nd wife.  

 
Now I’m wondering if there’s a connection to their daughter, Elizabeth, being married to a Goddard, assuming she was married.  She had to be because her maiden name was Mosko, and why would she be buried with her parents and not her husband??  That’s a mystery to be solved another day, another time, and it may never be.  I have more important mysteries to solve at this point.
 
I gave Bill Cizmar your email address.  He’s the man I told you about, living in CA now, spending lots of time on Ancestry, and knows a lot about Lisbon.  He also knows ways of researching documents, etc. that I don’t.  He recently sent me an email stating he searched for an immigration document for a Topolosky and found 2 people who came to Lisbon, one of them being a John Elcik.  He may be able to answer some of the questions you have because he “loves this stuff.”   He introduced me to the Historical Society 3 years ago.
 
He sent you a friend request on FB, and you didn’t respond.  His name on FB is William Cizmar.  His email address is wickedgood@yahoo.com.  
 
I will reach out to Eugene Elcik and Marilyn Keamy (her maiden name was Karkos) this coming week.  I have 3 appointments this week with my cardiologist, dermatologist, and physical therapy.  The first 2 are yearly appts. And happen to be this week.  I’m starting PT because I have Osteoarthritis, and it’s progressing and causing more issues.  I opted for PT instead of shots because, frankly, they only mask the problem and don’t do anything to manage it.  
 
I’ll keep on doing what I’m doing in my spare time!!
