Surnames: Gyurica, Gyrica, Durica
We just found some interesting info last night. We got copies of a birth certificate and a baptism certificate. The mother's name is different on each... and different than what we thought it was. One is Gyurica, one is Gyrica... on other papers she is listed as Durica. She came through Ellis Island as Durica, but still used the other names occasionally for some reason. She is from Austria, Hungary. If you have a Jan (John) Durica or Malvina (Molly) Durica in your family, let me know. (Or your spelling may be correct on this one, since we've found so many variations already)

I have seen the name spelled both Gyuricza and Gyurica. I have not ever seen the other derivation that you mention. Of course many names were changed when coming to Ellis Island for ease of spelling and pronuciation. This last April we went to Endrod, Hungary where the Gyuricza's from my family originate. We received a book of the Gyuricza family that traces the origions of the name back to the 1700's. Did any of your family come from this town in southeastern Hungary. If so I will check in the book for them. Lisa

I'm looking for Gurica's. My mother-in-law told me her father was John Gurica, born 1888 in Czeckoslovakia. He worked for the railroad in Durand, Mi. Died in 1931, burried in Durand. Ellis Island records came up with Johann Gurica,Austria, residence-Strane, Moravia. April 20, 1907. Age 20. Also, Jan Gurica, Austria, Bohemia, residence- Strani, Moravia, Oct 14, 1912, Age 25. I think this is the same person on two trips and my mother-in-law said her father went back and forth more than once.

I am sure we are related! My grandmother's name is Mary Gyuricza, and her brothers are Philip and Jim Gyuricza. Are one of these men your grandfather? Considering my grandmother grew up on a farm near Festus, this must be the connection. I am sorry it took me so long to reply. Please let me know. I have done lots of research on the Gyuricza family.

What a great site! Thank you so much for the information. Through a strange course of events and a visit to Endrod, I now have a copy of the book on the Gyuricza family that is mentioned on the site. Of course it is in Hungarian, so I was not aware of the Durica connection in Slovakia until I read about it on the website. Thank you again!
