FOR KERIN:
Good work! That you can trace
PAPAYCIK/ PAPAJCIK to the town in Slovakia:
Vysoka Nad Kyusucou.
If PAPACEK is the Czech spelling,
then that correlates with the same principle
as SPANEL: surnames German-Bohemian/Czech.
The migration patterns of your family,
the PAPACEK people, are about the same as mine.
My branch of SPANEL also settled around
the New Jersey and Philadelphia area.
Cook County, Illinois (the Chicago area)
has a cemetery with excellent, online lookup:
SPRINGDALE CEMETERY. You might have some luck
with PAPACEK there!
