The Geleick's are a rare breed, there are very few of us around today, and not many ancestors either.

In some ways this rarity makes finding our family easier, almost everyone must be related, but harder as there are very few details to find.

Currently there are family members in The Netherlands (4 plus partners and children), in Germany (2 plus several families not yet contacted), Switzerland (only 1) and Singapore.

Historically the roots go back to the 1700's around the Königsberg, Ost Preußen area (now Kaliningrad, Russia) although there may be earlier links back to Thuringen, Germany, Poland or Slovakia.

One of the reasons for there being so few of us is that there are documented several spelling variations, and there are some variations that are not yet proved. Gerleick is documented as is Geleijk. What is not yet confirmed is the connection with name like Gleick, Gleich and several other similar spellings. One connection I heard about this week was the name is derived from the Polish name Galajk, but that needs further research.
