Surnames: Yedlick, Yedlicka, Jedlicka, Yedlechko, Sopchak
My grandfather was Elmer James Yedlick born August 1, 1920 in cook county, Illinois. He had one sister, Eleanor, they lived in Passaic, New Jersey. He died October 4, 1984 in Little Rock, Arkansas.

His father was George Andrew Yedlick (Yedlicka?) born April 24 1895 in Olyphant, Pennsylvania, he lived in New Jersey and was married to Lottie. He had several brothers and sisters: Andrew who was 9 years older, Annie or Ann/Anna who has 7 years older, Barbara who was 5 years older, Mary who was one year older and a younger sister who was 4 years younger than he, Louise or Lucy. George dies May 27th 1949 in New Jersey. He is buried in Erie R.R., Passaic, NJ. at St. Mary's, Rochelle Park, NJ Military Cemetery.

George's father is listed as Andrew Yedlick or Andrew Yedlicka/Andrew Yedlychko.

George's father Andrew Yedlick was born April 1862 in Austria/Hungary/Slovakia/Bohemia. His wife is listed as Barbara born December 1863 in same region. She must have died sometime after Lucy was born, after the 1900 census George was listed as widowed. They had Andrew born September 1885, Annie or Ann/Anna born July 1887, Mary born March 1894, George (my great grandfather) born April 24, 1895 and finally Louise/Lucy born December 1898.

Andrew was last listed living with his daughter Anna who married a Sopchak. In the 1940 census Andrew is listed as living with the Sopchak's, Anna was 54 years old and Andrew was 78.

I am unable to find any record of his arrival to America or his family information. Only the 1900 census that lists their arrival as abt. 1880.

If you have any information regarding any of the family members, I would greatly appreciate your help!
Thank you,
Kelly
