  • Notes 
    • This Dudik's birth name was Gyorgy, but he took the name of Joseph when he emmigrated to America. The first time we see him going by the name of Josef is literally on the ship's manifest when he arrives at Ellis Island. His native language was Slovakian. The peoples of his home town, Neviczke, Hungary, were considered Ruthenian, Rusyns or Magyars (Hungarian). They were not Russian by culture, but considered to be on the outskirts of Russia at one point in time. The way Gyorgy Josef's name is spelled in the records is a Hungarian spelling. The 1900 census says that Joseph came in 1888 and his wife in 1891. This does not appear to be true. They might have left their home in 1891 but they arrived in 1892. He and his wife first came to America on Feb. 17, 1892 though they bunked in seperate quarters. They arrived in New York through Ellis Island. His name is Gyorgy in Nevizcke and Josef in America. Immigrants often changed their first name to a more "American" name when they emmigrated.

      Josef departed in Vienna, Austria on the ship Waesland along with his brother-in-law, Mihaly Vocsik and a likely uncle or cousin named Joseph Vovscik, age 34. Joseph Dudik was listed at age 26. They were listed as Hungarian. They bunked together and were headed to Sheffield, PA. Mihaly's sister, Maria Vocsik, wife of Josef Dudik also came on this same ship. Even though Maria was listed by her maiden name in this record, it was common practice for women to be listed by their maiden name in these ships passenger lists. They are on record as having son Andras back in 1887 in Neviczke, Austria Hungary, Maria in an unknown location in 1889 and then a child whom died as an infant in 1992 after being born in 1991. It is interesting to note that the two children we have birth records for in Nevizcke both had the same god parents, Mihaly and Julianna Vovcsik. I'm assuming Mihaly was Maria's brother and Julianna was likely Mihaly's wife whom we know to be named Anna in her birth record. Maria's sister Julianna was suppose to be the baby of the family and would have been too young to be a godparent.

      Joseph and Maria had jobs in different towns lined up according to the ship's passenger records. Joseph Dudik and Mihaly Vocsik were both listed as laborers headed for Sheffield, Warren Co., PA which is northwest Pennsylvania somewhat close to Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania where this family ended up living. Joseph's wife, Maria Vocsik, was age 24, and listed as a servent headed along with her 18 year old relative, B. Bogdan, to Pottsville, Montgomery Co., PA which is northwest of Philadelphia and quite a bit further east than Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania where she and her husband lived their final years. (D-50, 81) (D-200, 201, 225)

      George Joseph appears to have returned to the old country and come back to America on an immigration list on Nov. 23, 1901 in Ellis Island Records on the ship Graf Waldersee departing from Hamburg. He was from Noviczky, Hungary. He was age 38. This would suggest his birthdate as 1863. He was going to stay with Jano Vovck in Johnsonburg, PA. He had $22.00 on him at the time. He was the correct age to be this same person and would have been staying with his brother-in-law. He was married. He was listed as Hungarian. By that same year 1901, all of Joseph and Mary's children had been born. Their birth dates are usually incorrect in the public birth records as per interviews with these family members. The doctor apparently submitted many of their children's birth dates and even names incorrectly.

      Joseph is listed as a laborer in 1899 when their son George Joseph was born. They lived at the Hill (Hall) St. Extension in Johnsonburg at the time. In the newspaper obituary for this George Joseph it lists his parents as George and Mary Wolfe Dudick. (D-50, D-109) In 1900, they owned a house free and clear on Clarion Junction, Johnsonburg, PA according to the June 1900 census. Joseph could not read nor write, but could speak English. His wife could not read, write nor speak English. He was a day laborer by trade. He is listed as an alien (not a naturalized citizen). Wife, Marie and daughter, Marie were both listed as naturalized, although one of these facts is likely incorrect as citizenship came with the prerequisite of speaking English. They lived at Indian Run when their daughter, Julia was born in 1901. (D-56) I was not able to find one of our Dudick's in the 1910 or 1920 census. (F-246a)

      Joseph Dudik appears to have again traveled back to the old country and returned to Arrayo, Pennsylvania to stay with his son, Gyorgy Dudik on the Pannonia on May 21, 1906. Arrayo was located in Spring Creek Twp., Elk Co., PA on the Clarion River 18 miles south west of Johnsonburg. His son would have been only 7 at the time, so I'm assuming he was returning to live with whole family too. He listed his age as 42. This would calculate his birthdate to be 1864. His last residence was listed as Neviczke, Hungary. His race is listed as Slovak. He was listed as a farmer and married. He stated he had lived in Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania previously from what possibly looks like 1900-1903.

      Joseph died on Oct. 29, 1906 according to Mary's typed up third marriage application. He was listed as a Section Boss at the time of his death by his daughter Anna in her marriage record dated 1914 where he was also listed as deceased. His death certificate listed as Joseph Dudoack, states that he died on Nov. 2, 1901. It occurred on Johnsonburg, Elk Co., Pennsylvania of unknown cause. The person whom submitted the information obviously did not know much about him. It stated that he was age 38, born in Paland Russia. His parents of unknown name were born in Russia. He was married at the time. It looks like the info might have been supplied by a neighbor, George Younger, Sr. whose name is listed at the bottom left of the death record. (D-DOC, F-246a)

      Articles have finally come to light thanks to descendant Ken Anderson that obviously apply to this Joseph Dudick. An article in the Nov 8, 1907 Johnsonburg Press was about the death of Joe Dudak (Dudick?) on Nov 1-2, 1907. It is transcribed by Ken as follows "Johnsonburg Press Friday: November 8, 1907 Pg.1, A MURDER MYSTERY? Mysterious circumstances surround the death of Joseph Dudak, which occurred at his home about a quarter of a mile above the mouth of Indian Run, on the Glen Hazel road some time Friday night following a drinking bout indulged in by the dead man, his wife, Steve Zimmerman and James Misko, the latter two belonging to the Rasselas settlement, when a quart of brandy and a quart of alcohol was drank, in which was also a quantity of pepper to make it hotter, coupled with the fact that two of the men were on the way home from Johnsonburg and while in town they drank considerable. The first intimation that there were suspicious circumstances was Saturday morning when Mrs. Dudak came to town and said her husband was dead. Squire Secrist and Constable Mc Clintle went up to view the remains, and the oldest boy, John, said that he saw Zimmerman go out to the wagon along the road to get the last bottle of booze, which was alcohol and while there he emptied the contents of a paper into the bottle. Dudak took a drink, and immediately afterwards became violently sick, and remained in that condition until along towards morning, when he died. The remains were given in charge Undertakers, Ubel Flynn. Sunday morning a coroner's jury was impaneled, consisting of D. W. _, Geo. Younger, Sr., Alva H. Gregory, Phil Tirttle, J. Weiss and W. I. Secrist, the Iatter being selected foreman. The testimony of Steve Zimmerman, Jas. Misko, Mrs. Dudak and her son, John and daughter, Mary was heard, the first fwo telling a pretty straight story but from the others no information further than a contradictory mix-up was secured. Dr. Sharp made a post-mortem examination of the internal organs. These together with the bottle which Johnnie alleged was the bottle into which he saw Zimmerman place the poison, were produced in evidence at the second meetting of the coroner's jrry Monday morning. There being no evidence against Zimmerman further than that of the boy, he was allowed to go. The internal organs and the bottle have been sent to a chemist for analysis, after which the coroner's jury will again meet and determine the cause of death, if possible. Zimmerman & Misko who live near Rasselas were in Johnsonburg Friday morning driving past Dudak's house. They saw Dudak who said he was going hunting, didn't feel good, and asked them to bring back something to drink. On the return trip they stopped at Dudak's house about 5:00, took in a bottle of brandy, and when it was gone Zimmerman went to the wagon to get the alcohol. They left about 7:00 and didn't learn of Dudak's death until the next day. Dudakk's remains were placed in the charge of the County Commissioners who had them interred in the County Home Cemetery in St Marys. Johnsonburg Press Nov 15, 1907


      The Coroner determined that Joe Dudak died of alcoholism and no trace of poison was found. (This suggests he died of liver failure.) "Note; The Johnsonburg Press was a weekly paper published on Fridays therefore Joe Dudick died early Saturday morning Nov 2, 1907. At the time the Dudick's were living on Glen Hazel near the Clarion River on the outskirts of Johnsonburg PA according to these articles.

      Then to further support that this is the same family, an article on Jan 3, 1908 in the same paper stated: "County Commissioner Thomas paid a visit to Father Baker's school in Buffalo last week and was much pleased with what he saw at the institution. He took there the thirteen year old son of Joe Dudack, the man who died suddenly at Johnsonburg some weeks ago, and left him. The lad is bright but has never attended school a day in his life. He was anxious to go to the Buffalo institution and Commissioner Thomas thinks it's the place for him. There are seven hundred boys in the school at the present time and they are not only educated, but also taught trades. It's a charitable institution and set up by Father Baker's unceasing efforts in behalf of homeless boys."


      On that same day there was an article about Mary Dudak being arrested for the murder of a Mary Ann Tozler. Though difficult to read, it seems that Mary set fire to a house that Mary Ann Tozler was in and it was thought that Mary Ann died in the fire. An April edition of the paper said Mary Dudak was acquitted due to lack of proof since the body was never found. What we know from family interviews of his son John and others, Mary, Joseph's wife did not have the funds to keep the family together after his death. Mary went to work in a boarding house. The boys, John Joseph and Joe Dudick all were sent to Father Baker's home for boys in Buffalo, N.Y. Joe Dudick was adopted for a while by a German family who thought he was German. When they found out he wasn't, they neglected him and he ran away, back to St. Mary's Orphanage. The girls, were sent to a girls home in Erie, PA, except for Mary--who was 14. She ran away to Bradford and worked at the hospital. When the elder Mary was able, she returned for her children. To her great grief, her youngest daughter, Julia, had been adopted out. She and her other children spent years searching for Julia. Julia had been taken from the orphanage in Erie by the chief of the Erie fire department. She wasn't actually adopted by him, but he had enough influence to keep her original mother from knowing her whereabouts.

      Julia wanted to find her family desperately too. She skipped school at age 12 or 13 and went to the orphanage to try and find her brothers and sisters. She was simply told they were no longer there. She then ran away at age 14 and married Harry Dimick. This marriage ended in divorce and she moved to California. Julia eventually found her original family with the help of a priest at St. Agnes in Los Angeles, California in 1932 or 1933. Although the reunion was very special to all of them, her mother had sadly passed away by then. Julia's name had been changed to Marion Gertrude by her care-taker family. In 1940, Julia met and married Clarence Olmstead. He operated a poultry market. They later purchased and operated a liquor store. She retired in the early 70's and died of a stroke in 1977. Mary Dudick, wife of Joseph Dudick, met Mike Cesario in Mt. Alton, PA after her husband's death. He was a foreman for the railroad. She had two more children by him, Josephine and Tony Cesario. Mary had a sister, Veronica?, (who married John or Michael Parilla) and at least one brother, Mike Wolfe and his son John, living in Johnsonburg, PA (D-45). She visited her sister Veronica (Ella) in Johnsonburg, PA for all or most of her own children's births. She had a sister, Julianna's family that she also visited in New York State. She seems to have had a very hard life, according to her son, Tony Cesario. She had a religious nature, did like to read from the bible, but was not accepted in the Catholic Church. Her granddaughter, Dorothy, remembers her as small and delicate in frame. Her oldest daughter looked just like her, but was tall. (D-116) She owned two older homes in Mt. Jewett at the time of her death. Since there was no will, one was given to Tony Cesario and one to Josephine. They tore them down and got trailers which were still standing on the same property in 1981.

      The known residences for our Joseph and Mary Dudick in America were: 1900: Joseph and Mary Dudick and family at Clarion Junction, Johnsonburg, PA; 1912: Mary Dudick and Mike Cesario lived in Backus, PA (D-21); 1919: Mary lived on Dayton St. in Mt. Jewett (D-21); Dec. 1919: Mary lived in Kushequa, PA (D-24); May 18, 1920: Mary lived in Kushequa, PA (D-28); 1929: Mary lived in Mt. Jewett. (D-33). They also were known to have lived in Salamanca, PA; Mt. Alton, PA; and Custer City, Pennsylvania.

      The Coat of Arms for Dudick is in "Siebmacher's Wappenbuch". The shield is blue with a white left-diagonal stripe with three red roses in it. Above that is a knight's helmet and a Crest of a black eagle. There is no recorded motto. The surname, Dudick, is believed to have originated in Germany. The surname in German means "one who was a simple man." (D-155) My children's great grandfather thought that his family was originally from Germany. Our branch had moved to Slovakia because they were remembered as speaking Slavic from the old country. That could mean the Slovak language from the state of Slovakia or Czech from the state of Bohemia, or Rusyn from the Slovakian region called Ruthenia or even Polish from Poland. These languages are similar and derive from common Slovak root. (E)

      There was a wonderful lead for the Dudick side of the family that finally helped us locate this family. Three people traveled together on the Pannonia from the Port of Fiume, Yugoslavia arriving in New York on Sep. 11, 1905 that all have connections to the Dudick family. They were all from Neviczke, Hungary and could read and write. They were Ruthenian by race. They were Janis Cynsik?, age 38, male, married, destination St. Clair, to be staying with his brother-in-law, Dudik in Pennsylvania. He had been in the country previously in the 1890's also staying in St. Clair, Pennsylvania. Next to him on the list is Mary Dudik, age 19, single, destination, her cousin, Anna (Uhisr) in New York City, New York. This would have been Mary, the daughter of Joseph and Maria Dudik. She was probably exaggerating her age in this statement. Below her on the passenger list was Veorn (Veron) Vovcsik (who was the sister-in-law of Joseph Dudick). She was age 19, single, going to see her brother-in-law, Jozef Kacsik in Arroyo, Elk Co., Pennsylvania. He was the husband of her sister, Julianna. Veron later married Joseph Perilla and went by the name of Veronica Ella Perilla.

      Researchers Ken and Carol Anderson hired a researcher from the town of Nevicke/Nevicrke in what is now the Ukraine and were able to verify that the Dudicks were originally spelled Dudik and lived in the Nevicke area as well. Eureka! After more than 30 years of searching we finally know where the Dudicks are from.

      Sadly, the 2 books in existence for this town do not cover the years in which our Gyorgy Dudik was born. He went by the name of Gyorgy Dudik in Neviczke. Homes in Neviczke, Hungary were along one street. The following Dudik's whom lived in Neviczke just a few years prior to his birth lived in the houses designated with the following house numbers in Byzantine Church Records. I was able to hire a researcher and finally find Gyorgy Dudik's parents. He grew up in house 23 below and his parents were Andij and Anna Dudik. I have included all of the Dudik's in this small town as they were all highly likely his relatives.

      This is not a common name that I've found anywhere but in Neviczke/Nevike. Nevike is now along the western border of the Ukraine.

      In addition, we know of the following Dudik's in Ellis Island records and other from websites. Andrej was born in 1861 in Neviczke who travelled to America in 1900 from Antwerp on the Kensington. He was married at the time. He traveled with an 18 year old, Pavol Dudik who was likely his son. Their destination was Andrej's brother-in-law's (Joseph Kitore's?) home in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. The other Dudik's we have found living in Neviczke at this same time that again are likely relatives are a Joinos Dudik who witnessed a christening along with an Anna Vovcsik for Julia (Lasko) on Nov. 20, 1887. There is also a Bax... Dudik at an unreadable date in a similar time frame. Two records down on the same page there is another Anna Dudik who appears to be the wife of a Josef (Hofrsiaca). On Dec. 26, 1886, Anna Dudik and a Gyorgy Grosih witness the baptism of an Anna Uhrin again in Neviczke. Gyorgy Dudik and Anna Grosih are the parents of Maria, b. Sep. 8, Christened Sep. 10 of an unknown year. This was witnessed by a Gyorgy Dudik and a Juliana Grosih, obvious relatives of the parents. Anna Dudik married to Joseph Vovcsik are parents of Anna, b. Oct. 24 (unstated year) and christened on Oct. 25th. Their witnesses to the christening were Janos Gutys and Maria Kovacs. A Maria Dudik witnesses the baptism of Anna (Ondrik) on Oct. 27th on that same page along with a (T? Karbovoineoz). A Janos Dudik witnessed the christening of Gyorgy Kohucho on Apr 19, 1895. A Jun 4, 1913 Ellis Island record also gives clues. A Gyorgy Dudik, age 20, born Neviczke, Hungary, listed his closest relatives in Nevickzke as Georg Dudik (originally of Nevickzke) and his wife Kochel Vahansoh(n/r?) originally of (S/L?)rargorod. They are listed as Slovak for nationality. He was going to join his brother Jan Dudik in Kane, Pennsylvania. All of these Dudik's being from this same small town in Hungary are highly likely to be related to our Gyorgy Dudik.
