Colleen,
Thank you for your reply.
I'm not sure how to proceed here as I can't help you.
I have no other information on Emil Leyck although I am 99% sure he is either my Gr grandfather or my Gr Uncle.
My Grandfather, Frederick Conrad Leyck had one son, my father, Frederick Conrad Leyck, Jr.
Family memories are conflicting as to where "THEY" came from. My father always said "They came from Germany" while my Aunt told my cousin "They were born here." One thing both Dad and Aunt did agree on is that the name was changed. Seems "they" dropped the Von off the name. "They" may have even changed the spelling of their last name.
So now that I'm not even sure of my maiden name, I guess if you could find any information on Ignac Lejky I would appreciate it.
I could ask my cousin if she has heard of your Grandfather, if you would supply his name.
Trudell
