Beth,
That is exactly how I created my MyHeritage Tree. Its only downside is that it only brings over the tree and not photos or documents.

Charlie:
Slovakia was part of the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary but was administered by Hungary. The Ilčík family was from Parchovany, Slovakia. In the latter part of the 19th century, the priests in Parchovany kept Hungarian sacramental records. In Hungarian, the surname came before the personal name. I found baptismal records for the following children of Ilycsik Pál (Pavol Ilčík in Slovak) and Pelcsarszki Mária (Mária Pelčarská in Slovak):
- Ilycsik János (Ján Ilčík in Slovaki) baptized Mar. 10, 1885; as John P. Elcik died Sep. 5, 1962 at Lewiston
- Ilycsik Mária (Mária Ilčík in Slovak) baptized May 18, 1889
- Ilycsik Anna (Anna Ilčík in Slovak) baptized Sep. 22, 1891
(The Parchovany baptismal records are digitized up to 1895, but Pavol Ilčík was another one of their children, as confirmed by his obituary, which gives his date of birth as February 15, 1896. As Paul Elcik, he died Dec. 23, 1970, at Lewiston.
I found the following baptismal records in Parchovany for children of Ilscik János (Ján Ilčík in Slovak) and Erzsébet Bárán (Alžbeta Baran in Slovak):
- Ilcsik György (Juraj Ilčík in Slovak) baptized Apr. 20, 1866
- Ilcsik János (Ján Ilčík in Slovak) baptized Dec. 28, 1867; as John P. Elcik died May 24, 1941 at Lisbon Falls
- Ilcsik Anna (Anna Ilčík in Slovak) baptized Jan. 31, 1870
- Ilcskik József (Jozef Ilčík in Slovak) baptized Nov. 26, 1873; as Joseph P. Elcik died May 31, 1838
I hope this helps.

Charlie,
Wow! I am very excited to delve into this information—another goldmine. There is no way I can ever thank you enough for all you have done. You, Earl, and Beth are a dynamic trio.
It will take me time to realize the full significance of all this—several initial thoughts.
- I think this totally answers the Elcik, Elsik, Ilcik relations puzzle. Almost unbelievable…
- It also solves the puzzle of the mysterious Elizabeth Baron. I have a Social Security source document for her, but until now could only guess who she might be.
I’m going to copy Earl and Beth on this. Earl gave you a great lead, but your follow-up was a hit out of the ballpark.
Beth has been struggling as much as I with these puzzles. I think she will be as over the moon with joy as I.

Hello “Four” – that is my handle for you. Beth reminded me today that you have a Purington in your tree. I would love to know the name, place, and dates when you have time.
Thanks,
Charlie

Dear John IV and Beth,
As near as I can learn, we have to go back to the first American-born generation for the common ancestor: John Purington, 1635 – 1692. Not sure how many DNA elements would be found, fewer than between John IV and Jack, most certainly.

Charlie,
I thought about using Dr. J. to distinguish between my son, my father, and me. But that would have created its own set of problems. Maybe? Lol. (I’m only 5’ 10”) I also should say that for 30years, I used the nickname Jack because my boss and the owner of the company was named John. Very silly.
I wrote a fun piece when my son was born about Johnnie 5. From his point of view, it was written upon entering the world with the number five attached to his name. I probably still have it.
