Wow!

My last email was just an acknowledgment of thanks for obtaining new information. Now that I have examined the contents and know what you sent… I am ecstatic. The obituary for John P. Elcik, Sr. is a significant find for several reasons.
  1. The obituary confirms the theory that John, Sr. was buried at St. Cyrill “Methodist” Cemetery. Wow!  Am I correct? Is this the same St. Cyril? The addition of Methodist does not change the location. Right?
  2. It is the first time I have seen the middle initial “P” for John, Sr.  All previous documentation I have is without the middle initial. Somehow this is comforting.
  3. The obituary says that John, Sr.’s father was also named John. This raises an interesting question. Am I really John P. Elcik, IV? or could I and not my son be the 5th?    
  4. Who is the spouse of John, Sr’s father?  Could it be the mysterious Elizabeth Baron?  I have a Social Security document that I could never explain.  I’m attaching two files. 
Wow!
 
I can’t thank YOU and your friend enough!
 
John, IV
