Hello John and Pam,

My name is Keri Lucas. I have been doing some research on my family tree and found your website. I am one of Madeline Elcik Lucas’ grandchildren from York, Maine. I am very interested in putting the pieces of my family tree together, and I am very impressed by the Family Tree work you and Pam have done. I would love to hear from you and maybe some tips on how to do the research.

Thank you very much,

Love, Keri

John,

Thank you for the helpful information. I am one of two daughters of Rosemary & Rodney James Lucas. My dad is one of the seven children from John Lucas and Madeline Elcik. I think that the big house you are referring to was in York Beach. It has since turned into a lovely B&B. All of my Aunts and Uncles have toured to see what they have done to restore the grand old house. If you ever come up for a visit, I would highly recommend staying there.

I signed up for the site ancestry.com and have traced the Elcik side pretty far back, although I am never sure that it is tracing back correctly. For instance, the name Byrus is coming up as Byros, and I am not quite sure why that is since I have always seen it spelled with a U.

I would love you to send me the project that you are working on called, “My Cousins.”

My Address is:

I am grateful that you have done such great work. When I asked my dad about the family history, he didn’t seem to know very much. I think that this is an essential piece of history that families should keep for generations, so I decided to do the research. If I find anything interesting, I will send it your way!

Thanks again,

Keri
