- The 1900 census lists Mary as Marie, age 11 who was a naturalized citizen. (D-50) This would make her birthdate approximately 1889. However, no birth record can be found for her in Neviczke, Hungary at the time. She had 2 other siblings born there before and after this date that are listed in the records. Perhaps she was born in Budapest or at a relative's home outside of Neviczke. She is likely to be the Maria Dudik who emigrated from Hungary on Nov 27, 1896, age 7 on the ship Havel, from the port, Breman, Germany to Ellis Island, New York. This Maria was traveling with a possible Aunt, Julia Volsik, age 22, a married American citizen. The record lists her as a male, but Maria has an aunt married to John Volcik (her mother's brother) named Julie Volcsik. I therefore suspect that Julia's sex was simply mistranslated. (D-199)
There is another Mary Dudik coming over to the United States traveling with Veorn (Veronica) Voscvik arriving on the Pannonia from Nevicke in New York on Sep. 11, 1905. She was age 19, could read and write, nationality Hungary, race - Ruthenian. Mary's destination was her cousin, Anna (Uhiur) in New York City, New York that could be this Mary instead though she would be 4 years older than any records indicate in the United States. It is possible that she wasn't telling the truth about her age or that this Mary was instead a younger sister/niece of Joseph Dudick, my children's original immigrant.
In the 1920 census, Mary and her husband Daniel continued to live in Allentown, Pennsylvania. They had no children. She is listed as naturalized, though her husband wasn't. He was born in Pennsylvania, and she as well as her parents were listed as being born in Austria. Her native tongue was Slavik. She was 31 on her last birthday. Mary was not living at home in the 1930 census. She listed her nationality as Czech and her and her parents birth places as Czechoslovakia. She married at age 24 and her husband was age 25 according to this census. She could speak English, entered the country in 1922 and was listed as an alien or not naturalized. This immigration date is not likely to have been accurate. She was married in Allentown, PA in 1913/1914. Possibly it's the last date that she traveled to and from the old country. They had no children listed. This info and her place of birth in Austria Hungary by family tradition is not supported in her marriage certificate. In that she was age 25 when she married on May 10, 1915. She lists her birthplace as Bradford City, PA. Both of her parents are listed as being born in Austria. Her father, Joseph is deceased and her mother Mary is listed as "at home". Her residence was Allentown, Pennsylvania at the time on what looks like 1447 Hamilton St. Her birthplace would not have been Pennsylvania as earlier records state her to not have citizenship in this country yet.
