Hi Ken,
I can't make any immediate connections. My "Jacob Jellen" was born in O'Lublo in 1880 to Jakub Jelen & Maria(Orzsechovsky...I think). He emigrated to the US in 1900, married Sophie Zigmond (my Great Grandfather's sister) in Pittsburgh in 1903. By 1920 they had moved their family to a farm in Willington, CT.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
