March 26, 2012<\/p>\n

Today was the first confirmation of a DNA match for the Pick hypothesis derived from the Mihailovici family tree.<\/p>\n

An ftDNA match with me by the name of Jewell Betty Andersen turns out to have Pick as her maiden name.\u00c2\u00a0 At this point I know no more about her than that.\u00c2\u00a0 I have asked the manager of her file–a Doctor and PhD–for her specifics and family tree information. That may fill in pertinent gaps–1890 to present–in the Mihailovici tree, particularly for the family members gone missing in action after immigrating to the US. If the trees complement one another and there is still a male MIA fitting our parameters then that will be Frank.<\/p>\n

ftDNA proposes us as 4th cousins within a range of 3rd-5th cousins.\u00c2\u00a0 This would make our common ancestor either Frank’s father or grandfather since we may be once removed.<\/p>\n

We share 35.75 cMs and the longest fragment is 11.38 cMs.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

It turns out that in ftDNA there are two other genetic matches that include Pick as names in their family\u00c2\u00a0 trees.\u00c2\u00a0 They are:<\/p>\n

  • Elizabeth Jeanette James<\/li>\n
  • B. Ann Carlton Oppenheimer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The 5 of us, including Daniela, share multiple fragments on multiple chromosomes.<\/p>\n

    Of the Hora\/Mihailovici family tree options the most probable is the Pik\/Pick family.<\/p>\n

    Ship passenger manifest records showed an uncle and nephew arriving in New York in 1906. Interestingly both appeared to be named Franz Pick.<\/p>\n

    This does not conform to the available family tree information. The uncle’s age conforms to the date of birth for Leopold PICK (1866). of to Gabriel WIEN
    \nLeopold PICK Josef (Pepo) WIEN Francizka Pick<\/p>\n

    Rationale for thinking that there is a strong possibility that Francizka (Franz) Pick is Frank McCallum.
    \n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 From Josef Pike there is a multi-generational reoccurrence, in various forms, of the name Franziska\/Franz\/Francis for males and females. In three generations the Pick males married women with the name Franziska.
    \n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 March 20\/21, 1906 the ship Le Champagne \/ Le Bretagne from Le Havre on March 1 arrived at Ellis Island, New York. The copy of the ship\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s manifest (attached) at lines 18 & 19 identified two Slovak Pick males, Franz aged 16 and one aged 38. The younger seems to be identified as the nephew of the older, but that is somewhat problematic as the names and the dates would appear to be father and son. The name of the elder male is not given as being different \u00e2\u20ac\u201c odd. In subsequent typed records both are named Franz. However, Franz\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s father was Leopold.
    \n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 The dates would make Franz born in 1890 which is generally consistent with the family tree and with Frank McCallum\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s birth date although neither has been independently verified. In some records Frank did use 1890 as his birth year.
    \n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 The ship\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s manifest said that the two men were heading out to Nebraska and to Rock Spring Wyoming to join relatives, specifically John Pick. There is a street address which has not yet been confirmed.
    \n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Cousin Eric Josef (Beppo) PICK b. 1898, died in Connecticut leaving named descendants who are presumably in the US. We have no indication of when he entered the US. It does suggest a family interest in America.
    \n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 The relationship tree between Daniela and Ian would appear to be supportable by the quantity of cMs (61.6) larger than 3 cM .
    \n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 GEDmatch suggested Daniela and Ian are 3.9 generations to MRCA. In this Pick hypothesis there are 4 generations between Daniela and the MRCAs and 5 generations between the MRCAs and Ian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
