I was wondering if the town of Mogoric, near Gospic, was considered to be in the Lika region of Croatia? My husband's grandfather, Tomo b.1884, in Caire, near Kutina, but one "older" family member mentioned that the Korica family was from the Lika region. When I went to the Ellis Island site and looked up Korica it seemed to be that the majority came from Mogoric. On a sad note, it seems that the surname is still connected to Mogoric. On a web site I found Milos Korica, son of Djura, b. 1958 in Mogoric, Croatia. He died in 1995 as a victim of a war related massacre.

Mogoric' is located 10 miles ESE of Gospic'. The Croatian telephone directory lists 4 surnames Korica under Mogoric' and 3 other surnames Korica in this county. The wars fought there in the 1990s with their ethnic cleansing were ugly.
