Veronica Ella VOVCSIK ²

   Other names for Veronica were Veorn VOVCSIK and Ella WELSHIK.

  General Notes:

According to the 1920 census records for Mike Perilla, she was listed as his wife, Ella who emigrated in 1910. Mike, her husband, emigrated in 1908 previous to her. With this clue, I was able to find her entrance into this country on Oct. 5, 1910 through Ellis Island. Her place of residence is listed as Neviczke, (Ungvar) Hungary. She was 25 years of age, a female (transcribed with the name of Veron Perilla), married, embarking from Carnaro, Triest, Austria and arriving here on the Carpathia. Ungvar (District), Hungary was to become Uzhorod, Czechoslovakia and currently is named Uzhhorod in the Ukraine. She is listed as Hungarian by nationality and Slovak by race. She was 4' 10" tall with brown hair and blue eyes. Her father Mihaly Wocsik was a resident of Nevicske, Hungary in 1910.

She is in three immigration records. She left Nevicske and traveled to Port of Fiume in Yugoslavia where she took the ship called Pannonia to New York City arriving on Sep. 11, 1905. Her destination is listed as Elk County, Box 20 Arroyo, Pennsylvania. Her name is spelled Veorn Vovcsik in the 1905 immigration record and she is listed at age 19. She was going to stay with Joseph Kacsik of Oil City, Pennsylvania. (D-222) We don't know who Joseph is, but Joseph Kacsik's wife, Juliana and 2 children, Josef and Maria arrived in the U.S. in 1900 who might easily be a sister to Veorn as Julia was a name given to Veorn's sister Maria's youngest daughter. Veorn left the US in 1908 on the Carpathia Manifest and returned from Nevicske by way of Port of Fiume, Yugoslavia on the Carpathia which arrived in New York City on Oct. 5, 1910. This time her destination was to meet up with her husband in Limestone, New York. ^{1 3}
