Hi,
My great grandfather was Lewis A. Lyke born in 1840. I believe his father was Martin 1805-18070 and mother was Eliza(maiden name not positive on. they were between Niagara and Buffalo Batavia area. His son , my grandfather Lewis, moved the family to MI between 1916 & 1917 not sure why. Any info would be appreciated. my father has always told me that 4 brotheres came from Germany. He has never been sure of date and he said they changed the spelling to Lyke and that is why anyone with that spelling is related. doing this research I know how many others have connections.
Thank you so much
