looking for relatives or information on Mathias DUDZIK and wife, Mathilda. Immigrated with 2 daughters in 1866 from Bremen to the Port of Baltimore. Daughter Josephine was 4 and daughter Marianne was 8. They came on the same ship as my great-grandparents: Paul Dudzik and Antonina Cyrhowski, and their 2 children: Anna and Anton. Have not found any connection but it is possible that Paul and Mathias were brothers. Paul was 38 and Mathias was 37. Paul and Antonina Dudzik located in Portage County, Wisconsin. There are other families in Portage County, but have not found a Mathias and Mathilda.

There also is a Rosalie Dudzik, age 1 year, traveling at the same time; same manifest number but she was traveling steerage while the others were in cabins. Her country of orgin was listed as Holland, and final destination is Cinninati, Ohio. The others were from Prussia with final destination as Baltimore.

There also was a Paul KLINGER and family, who immigrated at the same time with the DUDZIK family...they ended up in Chicago, IL
