I have just begun researching this side of my family. The Ecks I am looking for were my grandparents and both died fiarly young (30's)is seperate automobile accidents just a few years apart in Michigan. I am working from death certificates as well as my fathers and uncles birth certificates back. My father was 9 by the time they were both gone. Alice seemed to use several different names on social security records, birth certificates etc. Any information would be appreciated.
