John (NY),
I had forgotten you mentioned DNA. And I do have a DNA story to share. It’s complicated.
I’ll write it up and forward it.

John,
These are all good things to remember. There’s a massive cemetery in Lisbon Falls with many of my relatives and some of Jack’s. I have difficulty remembering their location. Now I have some tools in my back pocket to help me with that.

John – I am having so much fun! Thank you for reaching out. I’m updating my 2008 version of our Family Tree. I’m exchanging email and Facebook posts with Beth, Nancy, Janet (Lucas) Welch, and Mark Elcik. If you would like to join us, I need your email address. I can forward you copies of some of the recent emails to catch you up. Wow!
Rebecca – I would love it! I was trying to tell my husband stories etc. and I was telling him probably the only one of you I could recall like it was yesterday of you visiting the farm in Eliot and making us all loksa!!!! rkashmerdavis@gmail.com
John – I will be sending you a lot of stuff. Just enjoy it when you have spare time. Pam and I live in Fort Myers. Small world. 🙂
Rebecca – I’ve got a lot of time on my hands right now trying to settle in and figure things out. I am trying to get my ducks in a row right now and figure out what I want to do about employment. I will look forward to the ‘stuff.’ Maybe sometime after this covid19 thing gets a better grip, we can get together. I’d love my husband to meet more elciks. He came late to the party. Until then, stay well! ?
John. Has your husband ever tasted our favorite dish?
If not, this picture may help.

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
