Anna JURIK ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

Anna was lured to America's promise at age 17 in 1903. She arrived on Mar. 12, 1903 according to Ellis Island records. She was Slovak from Turduka, Hungary. It was supposedly a parish in Austria Hungary on the Russian border that sounded like Ungar or Uzarag. Her passage was paid by her step brother of unknown name. She was going to stay with her brother ( ) Mahla? in Vasfield, Massachusetts. She found the first years difficult, but met and married her husband, George Vosick, by 1910. It might be important to note that she began dating George Vosick in this country because she knew the Vosick family from near her home in Europe. She met him working in the same cigar factory that she worked in, and because she knew his family in the old country, they started dating. It is interesting to note that the passengers she is listed directly after are a Joseph Hershkowitz, age 22, who was Jewish from Jassy, Romania who was going to stay with his brother-in-law, David Rosner in New York. The Hershovics married into the Dudick family also. Anna lived to be at least 103 years old and was a member of the St. Eulalia Roman Catholic Church. She was living at Coudersport, PA on her 103rd birthday. (D-164, 165) Her social security number was 160-50-1204.

Anna possibly returned to the old country: Anna Velcsik, age 25, married, ethnicity: Hung, Slovak, residence: Gezseny, Hungary, arriving at Ellis Island on October 01, 1912, on the ship, Kronprinzessin Cecilie embarking from Bremen, Germany though in her 103 birthday party news article in the Times Herald is says she never had a chance to return to the old country - that she had simply been able to send her sister Mary a ticket to come to the U.S. ²

Anna married George (Volcik) VOSICK, son of Mike VOLCIK and Mary BUGDON Jr., on 5/29/1910. (George (Volcik) VOSICK was born on 7/18/1890 in Neviczke, Ung, Hungary ⁴ and died about 1923-1924 of Coudersport, Potter, PA, USA ¹.)
