Is anyone researching the DURICS or GUITMAN families in Rakican (formerly Battyanfalva, Vas Megye, Hungary), near Murska Sobota?? My ancestors were Josef Durics (born 1857) and Teresia (born 1867) Guitman. They married in 1884 and had at least 4 children - Ferencz, Juliana, Viktor, and Ferdinand. At some point my great-grandfather Ferencz changed his name to Frank Duritsch, and immigrated to the US in 1905. He eventually settled in Cincinnati, Ohio. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who might connect to this family. Incidentally, can someone tell me if the name DURICS would be considered Hungarian or Slavic?? Thanks, Susan

Hi Susan! Do not know anyone researching that area or these families. Durics is a Hungarian last name. There is noone with this last name listed in the Slovene telephone directory. Hope this helps!
