Hi Barbara,
My great grandmother was Sible Sokolik. She was married to Lee Kirkland, and had three children, Sandy Kirkland (now deceased), Ray Kirkland (Westport, Wa), and my grandmother Harriet Watkins (Spokane,Wa). My grandmother told me a story about her cousin, Charles Sokolik, who was enlisted in the armed services, and was in the Prague area. He asked around, and found alot of his family living in the back of the post office. He wrote to one of the daughters over there for years, but then received a letter back from one of her sister's stating that she had been taken away due to the letter writing to him (fear of communismn). There was also two other children in the family besides John, Emma, and Sible, and that was Otto and Charlies. My grandmother has found other relatives with lots of information on the family, and would love to give you any information you would like. Please feel free to e-mail me and I will pass it on to her. My e-mail is
