Aug 6, 2011 Jean was a gracious and unquestioning host the many times I moved in and out of New Mexico and Albuquerque between schools, jobs and apartments over the 17 years I lived down there.  She lived a full life and always made sure she had plenty to do, doing it very well and worthy of notice as tesitified by others here.  I especially like the comment about her telling what was on her mind without hesitiation whether in agreement or disagreement - one cannot but highly respect a person with such a highly developed sense of confidence and communicative ability.

        I'm sure the other activists in New Mexico will miss her as will the rest of us.

COMMENTS:  Knowing Eddy Faust the 2 men were undoubtedly drunk, and Eddy could be a nasty drunk by all accounts.  Sounds like Fred Cyriac was a nasty drunk as well.

My father was the step-son of Eddy Faust.  Eddy later passed away after passing out on a railroad track.  Not only was he known for the training of the German Shepherd "Peter the Great" but he also managed a 300 farm acre farm owned by MGM located on Pico and Overland.  I guess the farm was primarily for training of animals, because my father actually fed and cared for the 3,000 chickens, 600 rabbits, 12 horses, 6 dogs and 6 pigs.  Eddy also trained my fathers 6 dogs for the Gregory Peck Movie "The Yearling".  [ See the 7/18/2011 entry, below, too. ]

COMMENTS: Hello Ben,

Greetings from Athens!

        I came across your very interesting genealogy site and I must congratulate you on the great job you are doing!  Hope you do not mind if I ask you to consider a potential error about the name Kyriakakos/(greek??????????/??????????).  This name has nothing to do with Evil-Lord.  It is a family name from the region of Mani in the Peloponnese.  It means son of Kyriakos.  The -akos ending is typical of the area.

Please let me know if I can help you further.

Margarita

COMMENTS:  Maternal grandfather is John Herman Christopher Cyriaks born 1898 or 1892, think latter.  Married Sylvia Seigrist, 2 daughters. I am eldest grandchild of JHCC.

Ben Ciriacks' reply:  Our common Cyriac ancestor is Brun Ciriacks (birth certificate spelling) born in 1737 - our great 4 grandfather - making us 5th cousins.  My records show 1898 and Siegrist but documents over the years would probably contain both spellings - can you confirm yours is the one used by her during her lifetime?

John Herman's dad Johann (your great-grandfather) was a twin born in 1866 of a dad, Christopher, who was also a twin born in 1824.  Both are shown on this Bremen family tree image.
