My father, Stanley L. Ejzak, born in Pittsburgh April 11 1916.
He had employment troubles, got black listed and removed the "z" from Ejzak to get a job, proir to his second marrage to Mary K. Nassar in 1959. My sister Suzanne L. Ejak was born July 14, 1960 and I, James M. Ejak Sept. 7, 1961 in Connellsville, PA. We all moved to Detroit area in 1968 for his employment at Pontiac Motor Division. He died of cancer, Feb 9, 1977. We still live in Michigan.
I travel on the job and about 10 years ago, I visited company, Holocrome, Danaher Tool Group, in Hartford, Conn. There, the security guard, an elderly man recognized my name and told me that he married an Ejak but she had a "z" in her maiden name.He placed a call to her and she thought my father may be her cousin?
Since then, my sister found an Ejzak living in Livonia, MI and spoke with him, but no immediate family connection was made. He did advise her of the bulk of Ejzak's residing in Harford or Pittsburgh area.
We never knew much else.It was when when he deid that we basically learned of the proper, Ejzak name. At 15 years old, I just disregarded it and we all went on with Ejak in fear of potential identities problems.
My dad always considered himself, Prussian. He talked of his father, born approx 1865 migrating from Prussia I think in the late 1890's to Pittsburgh. He was the youngest of approx. 12 kids. He was the black sheep, I guess, since we never had any knowledge or contact from anyone in or from his family. When he died, a brother (I believe Frank) and sister came to Pontiac afterwards to meet us.
I always wondered about the Ejzak tree, as well as the real location of the root.
