First, I’m glad we found the George Elcik/Anna Gamache family connection.
I still believe there is a direct family relationship between John Ilcik (1886-1982) and John Elsik (1866-1941), our direct ancestors. Given the 20 years that separated the two, I suspect the relationship between these two is cousins.
To prove this will require access to records in Austria-Hungary. Ancestry wasn’t much help, The Family Tree Search Engine, however, sponsored by the Church of Latter-day Saints, has produced a few leads.
I’ll keep you posted.
