Looking for WOYCHIK information.

Surnames: WOYCHIK, FUGINA
I am trying to find information about a Julia Woychik who married Michael Fugina in New City (right outside of Independence, WI) July 12, 1871. They lived in Independence and had two sons, George Edward Fugina and Francis Joseph Fugina. Julia died Feb. 7, 1882 and is buried in the St. Peter and Paul Catholic Cemetery in Independence, WI.

Can anyone help me find further information about Julia. Who were her parents, sisters, brothers, etc.? When did she come to the U.S. and from where? I have a reference to a Phillip Woychik in one of the documents I have found regarding the Michael Fugina property in Independence. Who would Phillip Woychik have been? Julia's father, brother, Uncle, cousin??????????????

I need help. Thanks, Jeanne

Hello,

My grandfather was Benjamin Woychik (dob: 2 may 1913 - dod: 26 Dec 1996) from Arcadia, Trempealeau, WI. He married my grandmother Emerald Sharlow in 1936, in Independce WI. His parents were John L and Julia Woychik (dob: 10 may 1897). My grandfather moved to Oak Creek (Milwaukee Co. Wi) in the late 1930's early 1940's. They had 9 kids. I have been to Arcadia and it is a very small town, so any Woychik's there have all got to be related somehow. If anyone any information it would be great if you could share it. Thanks!

I know you posted this a very long time ago. So just ignore if you already have this information.

Her father: Simon 50 yrs old
Mother: Christina 43 yrs old
Brother: Philip 20 yrs old
Self: Julia 15 yrs old.
all born in Prussia. Living next to Frank and Anna Wachick, probably brother to Simon

I have recently been searching for another Woychik family -and came across Julia Woychik and her family at the same time. They crossed to the States on the steam ship Bavaria leaving Hamburg on May 1st, 1868 and arriving in New York on May 18th. According to the information about the voyage, her parents were Simon Wojeck, aged 51, a farmer, Christine Wojeck, his wife, Philippine Wojeck, 18 his child, and Ulianna Wojeck, 12, his child. I rather suspect that Philippine is in fact Philip - as that is who is mentioned in the 1870 census from Burnside. They probably came from Poppeleau, Silesia, Prussia - as did the other Woychiks, who were right next to them in the boat, and lived next door to them when they homesteaded in Wisconsin.
I think my great-grandfather was probably father to both men - and he certainly was to the Frank Woychik family, as I was told that Frank was my grandfather's brother. My grandfather emigrated on his own to Independence in 1877 and went to live with the daughter of Frank Woychik - Susanna Woychik Kulig and her husband Hyacinth. I think (but I am not sure) that there was a sister who came over in 1870 - Susanna Woychik Filla - and her son John later settled in ND, as did my grandfather.

Your post was a long time ago, but I would be very interested in knowing any more about what you found out about Julia and her family.

Jean Day, please send me your email address as I would like to contact you. I have found your two books on Susanne Woychik, but I can't find a way to contact you.
I have been doing research on the Fugina family, which includes what I can find on Michael Fugina, his wife, Julia Woychik and their children.
I know where Michael Fugina is buried, but the people at St. Peter and Paul Catholic church, at Independence, WI do not have any records for Julia as it so long ago and apparently she was not buried in that cemetery.
I would like to ask you more questions on the Woychik family and your connection to the Arcadia, Independence area in Wisconsin.
My email address is gemini42@charter.net

Thanks, Jeanne Fugina
