John (NY),
This 1940 Census document is interesting for two reasons.
It confirms the family of Joseph (sons John J. and James G.), including his working at the Ice Cream factory, which you told me.
The 1940 Census uses the “Elsik” spelling of the surname.
The latter is particularly significant to us. The first instance I have found of your more direct relatives using this spelling is also traceable to my Great Grandfather John Elsik, Sr.
John, IV
