I am interested in making contact with this message board. Researching my family has gone well except for my own surname, which I find common to a number of ethnic groups. My search for the origni of my Pelikan ancesters is stuck in the Carpathian mountains. In 1876 my grandfather was born in what was then Stavne, Ung county, Hungary. I can't get to the messages on this site so I don't know who is looking for what. If you can help me with finding out the focus of the site and how to connect I would appreciate it. Thank you,
Jim Pelikan Cleveland, Ohio
