Family Line

Elsie Faye Shook-> Anna Lusicia Shook (m)-> Michael "Mike" SHOOK (f)-> Noah Shook (gf)-> Johanne George Shook (g-gf)-> Johanne Hans George Shook (Schuck) (gg-gf)-> Johannes Shook (Schuck) (ggg-gf).

Surname

Elsie's surname is probably Short, as her mother, Anna, carried the Short surname in the 1900 census. However, by 1910 Anna had reverted her surname back to Shook (per census records). Elsie may have carried the Shook surname for most, if not all, of her life, as her death certificate records her father as Unknown Shook. Therefore, I have profiled Elsie as a Shook (rather than Short).
