John, IV,
I agree. I grew up in Durham, drove by your great grandfather’s house hundreds, maybe thousands of times with my parents or myself. I would never have known I’d marry your cousin Jack and the connection to your family. Not only that but the house on Brickyard Hill where George Elcik lived who married Jack’s aunt, his father’s sister, Anna. I’m blown away. It’s been a wonderful journey with you to figure this out. You did most of the work; I only provided gravestone pictures and a bit of family history Jack and Nancy provided. I can rest easy now and sleep better at night knowing “the rest of the story.”
