John, IV,
My doctor’s appointments went well. I’m waiting for the hospital to schedule a stress test my cardiologist recommended. Blood pressure, Blood work was all good, but there’s a gray area where they need to find out why I’m having shortness of breath after walking, going up a flight of stairs, etc. We’re not sure if it’s coming from my neck or is a cardio issue. We need to rule that out at this point.
I start PT tomorrow and am hoping that’ll help. I’ve done this in the past, and it always does. I’m anxious to get started.
I’m fine helping you with the eBook. I wish we could figure out the Elcik family, especially if the Durham and Lisbon Falls Elciks are related somehow and if John and Joseph are brothers. When I talked to Gene Elcik today, he said at the time the Slovak/Czechs began migrating to this country, Hitler was in power, and all those records were destroyed. That’s why there aren’t any records available. I just remembered someone else who may be able to help. Her name is Patsy Armstrong (married name). Her grandmother was Mary Elcik, your grandfather John’s sister. Mary married Mike Dutko. They had 3 children, Helen, Regina, and Mary. Patsy’s mother was Helen. She lives down the st from us. I called her way back when about the Elcik family. She may know the connection to Paul Joseph Elcik Sr, Paul Joseph Elcik Jr., and Mary A Elcik (not your grandfather’s sister Mary.) Have I told you before that I drive myself “CRAZY” with this stuff!!!!
I also need to finish my Purinton/Day/Goddard family tree on Family Tree Maker. I want to print it, but I am not totally familiar with how I want to do that. I was working on that when we connected, and I went back to the Elcik/Byras/Gamache trees. I had done a lot of that before we got involved, but I DO want to finish. I get bogged down with technology, and then frustration sets in.
If only I were as smart as you!!
