Yes, I have done most of the things you have suggested, Zlatica. From what I discovered when I first saw the LDS records from Klin and Namestovo, there are many spelling for Skycak, many more than I would have guessed. I know my grandmother came from Klin, but you're right, its very close to Poland, and I think the Polish border was once different than today and included some of the Goral villages now in Slovakia. I really don't know a whole lot about any other relatives except an Uncle John Skycak and a sister, Julia Skycak who married a John Kray. Other than that the names you mentioned don't ring a bell. I think most of her relatives never came to the US. Thanks for the tips. Karen
