Here’s a couple links to sites with info on the Lott family. While at the time of writing this I haven’t found the connection to Albena Novak I think this info may have some benefit in the future.

My OCD is getting the better of me. That, combined with my ADD is causing me some stress (both conditions self diagnosed haha). The trigger’s for this are the discovering of documentation and web links that have interesting and potentially helpful information on one side of my tree or the other. My challenge is keeping track of these sites, putting them “somewhere” and then remembering where that somewhere is. Seemed like on here might be a good place to start.
I came across this site by accident, I guess that’s how I come across most/all of them. It pertains primarily to the Hickman family.
George W. Hickman married Phenia S. Reeves, the connection here through my Paternal Grandmothers family. Lots of work done here.

This online book references Edwin Brown and his wife Susan Rose. I’ve had some difficulty with this family, the possible cross referencing of two different ‘Edwin Browns’ and ‘Susan Rose’ or ‘Susan Prophet’. Both Rose and Prophet are potentially the names of the mother of Mary Phenia Reeves-Brown. Again on the Reeves side.

Progress has been a tad slow on the genealogy front, although I have made a few contacts and avenues I can pursue. My challenge is that I have too many interests in life and go in too many directions at once.
I’m still trying to connect the dots from Joseph Sklapsky’s arrival here in North America to his departure country in Europe. One of the genealogy sites I visit has provided a contact that is very helpful with both ideas and European resource websites I can use to follow the clues. See the Blog page “Links to Genealogy Sites” for those sites.
I’m also fortunate enough to make contact with a couple other family members (Fay and Angel) that are doing, or have done, research on different “branches” of the Sklapsky tree. Stay tuned to see where that leads.
