Beth,
This is the 3rd email I sent Nancy. I should have just copied you at the same time. I’m still a work in progress.

Nancy,
This is one of my favorite photos as it matches the individuals surveyed in the 1910 U.S. Federal Census.
The Elcik family in 1910 top row from left to right: John P. Elcik, Jr.; Michael Elcik, and Andrew Elcik. Bottom row from left to right are Mary (Dutko) Elcik, Elizabeth (Small) Elcik, John P. Elcik, Sr.; Mary (Pelcarsky) Elcik; Susan (Kiszonak) Elcik; and Annie (Karkos) Elcik. [Elizabeth & Annie are twins]
I’m hoping that you will have more exact information on where in Europe our families came from. I have hit the “brick wall” when it comes to locating anyone further back in history than John Elsik (Sr.). I also have a theory about his having a brother named Joseph to prove.
