Joseph,

If you are interested I can share with you some of the more interesting aspects of my research into our Elcik surname.

I’ve been researching connections between two waves of immigrants in the 1880’s. The families share a common heritage (Austria/Hungary/Slovakia), surname, and given names; specifically Andrew, George, James, John, Joseph, and Michael. We all settled initially in Lisbon Falls or Durham, Maine.

It may not be possible to link the families with U.S. data alone so I have expanded my search to European sources. Information is scarce and I’m handicapped not knowing the Slovak language. Nevertheless, I have discovered a lot and am willing to share my findings.

Warmest regards,

John

Joseph – As my father is James Elcik and was the middle child, Jack (John) passed away last year, and his younger brother Richard passed several years ago. Mother was Rose, and Father was Joseph Elcik. Unusual for myself, my mother is Slovakian and even more remarkable, my wife is 3/4 Slovakian. Somewhere with either my father or aunt is an Elcik family tree book. I have only seen it once. If I do come across, perhaps I can copy and send out.

John – I just researched James and his brother John for my only other New York Contact.

Joseph – James is my father, and John (Jack) was my uncle. Joseph Elcik was my grandfather..from Maine by way of Brooklyn.

John – John J. Elcik (1931) was getting confused with John J. Elcik (1943). John J. of Rocky Point, who recently passed.

Joseph – Sorry, do have to run to a meeting. I do have your email and will try to get you the family tree.

Joseph – John J. was a retired police officer if my memory serves.

John – May I have your email address?

Joseph – Yes, for personal use… kikjo@aol.com.

John – Wonderful
