ANCESTRY by Joseph R. Kudrick |
This section of our web site deals with ancestry. I have divided my ancestral family into two groups--those families related on my father's side, Joseph Kudrick, and those related on my mother's side, Anna Zokuskie. The Kudrick side of the family is the larger of the two groups as you will see. |
The KUDRICK Family The Kudrick family are descendents of Anna Scsur (prounounced Shure). Anna brought nine children into the world who grew up and married. As a result of these marriages and other identified relative associations, the Kudrick family encompasses the people within the Bartko, Began, Crans, Hrascs, Kelhart, Koneyak, Kraynak, Kudrick, Kudrik, Lazar, Lipka, McDeshen, Michalek, Mudry and Scsur families. The Kudrick family emigrated from the Austrian-Hungarian Empire in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. |
The ZOKUSKIE Family The Zokuskie family are descendents of Enoch Zokuskie and Mary Dumblauskas both of whom emigrated from Lithuania in the early part of the 20th century. They spent their entire working adult life in the mining villages of Minersville and Gilberton in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Enoch and Mary had four childen who married and brought grandchildren into the world with the names of Zokuskie, Zack, Kudrick, Horwat and Russell. It is this family that will be addressed under the Zokuskie Family heading. |
The Kudrick family originated from two regions within the Austria-Hungary Empire. First my grandmother and her first husband, Janos Bartko, emigrated from Csarno and Havaj respectively in Saris County, Hungary. This region later fell within the borders of Czechoslovakia and subsequently the country of Slovakia. The villages from which they emigrated are located northest of Bardejov in Slovakia. Secondly, my grandfather, Alex Kudrick emigrated from Kalusa in Ung County in Hungary. This region also became part of Czechoslovakia and is now within the political border of Slovakia. The town of Kalusa in Ung County is 22 miles west of the Ukraine border almost dead center in the country of Slovakia in a north-south direction. |
