John, IV,
I love the joke (if you will) about the mother, father, and daughter. Maybe that explains all our DNA and why some of us are messed up more than others! Lol…
You, dear John, have much more computer experience and expertise than I do. I’m just a hacker trying to figure all this out. I think I’m doing pretty good considering my limited knowledge. Ancestry is my only tool other than people I have been fortunate enough to know personally plus visiting many cemeteries in the area. This all piques my interest and keeps me up nights wondering who’s who. Your help with the Elcik family has been tremendous, and I’m so happy we’ve connected here.
There’s a family in Lisbon Falls, last name Karkos, BUT his mother was Annie Elcik, your grandfather John’s sister whom I know well. I’ve meant to talk to him because I understand he has some knowledge of the Elcik ancestry. I just called him, left a message, and hopefully, he’ll call back, and I’ll be able to meet with him. I Will let you know what happens. I have a few minutes and will try to “fix” some of my mistakes with the John P. Elciks. Wish me luck.
I looked at and copied the documents you sent. Thank you so much for this info. I love the one you wrote about the pronunciation of your surname. I’m convinced you’re a genius!!! I hope that doesn’t make your head swell!!!
