I have your Ella or Mary Ellen in Thomas and Mary Byerly Ickes family. I know very little about this line. I am from Jacob the first child. I have Friend Ekas in my database as well as Ella or Mary Ellen Ekas. Also show her married to Cruikshank no first name. And no idea if they had any children. Hopefully we can help each other out. I have been trying to locate and make a complete family tree. Maybe you can help us. Email me directly at my addy.
Good luck and I hope we can help eachother.
