A Family Mystery?
Fri, Aug 7, 2020, at 12:17 PM Cousins, etc., Is there is a relation that connects the waves of Elcik (Elick, Elsik) families that immigrated to America in the 1880s? I can connect two as being us. We share a common heritage (Austria/Hungary/Slovakia), surname, and given names; specifically, John and James. We all settled initially…

New York or Durham?
Sat 8/15/2020 12:12 PM Beth, For weeks I have been making references to “New York” and “Maine” Elcik’s. It may be a habit that I can’t break. Nevertheless, I can share that your observations of the part the Androscoggin river may have played in our family history have inspired me to make…
