Chris, I am interested in comparing notes on this line. Sometimes families changed the spelling of their names to become "more American", somtimes they changed the spelling to make it easier to spell, that is what some of my family did. Anyway, I am NOT a Jacobik, but am helping a friend find his roots--HE is Anthony Jacobik, son of Anthony and Estelle Jacobik. Any info you can offer will be appreciated. My email is applefarmkids@msn.com. Hope to hear from you soon.
