Hi, I'm trying to help a friend find ancestors. Dad was John Zurich, Mom was Sophie Frankowiak both born in Michigan.

Hi,
My maiden name is Zureich. The name has
had many spellings. I'm researching the
Zureich's in Germany (Altenburg, Waldshut,
Baden, Germany) and Zureich's in Switzerland.
I've just recently received a gold mine of
info from the web site www.familysearch.com.
I've seen Zureich's spelled: Zureick, Zurick,
Zuerick, Zurich, Zeurick. You name it and
I've seen it. I've had hopes that some of
the New Jersey Zurich's were related but have
not found anything to substantiate it. Good
luck in your search. If you find any
connection between your Zurich's and my
Zureich's, please don't forget me. I'm from
the Ohio Zureich's

Dear Elizabeth,
I don't think I can help you, but I find the
spelling of "my" name very interesting. I have never
thought of it spelled this way. My grandfather came to
the USA in 1880. They settled in Great Falls, Montana in
about 1890's. Do you know where your family originated?
Or what port they arrived at? Or perhaps the ship? I would
appreciate any information you might have, if you would
not mind sharing this with me. Thank you much.

Hi, I am searching for Leon Surek, his family brought him and sister Josephine to USA around 1880 when he was about 2 years old. I find him in 1910 census as Zurick newly married to Annie Kuriplach. I also find him in 1920 census as Leon Surek. Let me know! Thanks, Liz Dente

2001-03-02 07:37:55Z

Dear Susan, Your information on the Zurich
family has me "hopeful". I have been searching
my Zurich line for many years. They too, are
shrouded in mystery. The most I know of my
grandfather, Vincent Paul Zurick/Zurich/or
however it was changed,born in 1863, is that he came from
somewhere in "Germany". Not much help. If
you could, I would love to read more of the
information you have in your sons computer on
this elusive family. I will be glad to share
more of what little I have with you. You could
email me...marvene@in-tch.com

Zurich and it's many spellings.

I did quite a lot of research several years ago and turned up a lot of information on Zurich's, but not my particular branch. The majority of the NJ Zurich's are decended from the same family. The original spelling of their name was Zuric with an accent on the "c". The "h" was added at immigration to retain the "ch" sound which the accent denotes in Croation. Ironic, since most people see Zurich and pronounce it with the "k" sound due to the association with the city of Zurich. These Zurich's came from the small island of Olib which is off the coast of what is now Croatia. I never found any definitive connection to them, but I would love to be related, they were lovely people. I spoke to William Sr. from Toms River (I believe he has since passed away)as well as Phil's wife (Phil was not well at the time, prior to his death). I spoke to a number of others at that time and have the notes buried somewhere on my son's computer. I'll try to dig up some of that old info and share if anyone is interested. The closest I came to finding a direct link to my family was while speaking to a woman named Stephanie Zurich in NY. Her husband's name was Michael Zurich and his past family history was also shrouded in mystery. They also shared some of the attributes of my Zurich family. Unfortunately, Stephanie did not know the history of the family and Michael was hospitalized and subsequently passed away, so I was never able to obtain any info from him. If anyone has info on this branch, I'd appreciate it. In my research, I also spoke to a woman whose name is Zurich but it had been changed from Zuvich upon arrival in this country. It doesn't make the job any easier, does it?

Dear Janet,
My maiden name is Zurich. I have been doing research
on my family of Zurich for many years. I,too, have
come across different spellings. I wish I could connect
with your family or some Zurich that is out there. Somewhere
there must be a relative of mine. You could e-mail

HI MY UNCLE WAS ANTHONY ZURICH AND LIVED IN BELMAR NJ FOR MANY YEARS, HE MARRIED AN ANNA PALMER AND THEY HAD FIVE CHILDREN, DON'T KNOW IF HE IS ONE OF YOUR ZURICH. BARB

ZURICH....is there anyone out there?

2000-03-23 07:59:23Z

My grandfather's name was Edward Zurich. He ran off and married Catherine Skiba. They lived in New Jersy and had nine kids. They both spoke some polish. My grandfather's family owned a farm in Conneticut or Yonkers New York, so the story goes. It is almost impossible to find out any information on this mysterious name! The only other Zurich is in Switzerland! Go figure...
If any one has ANY scrap of information on this name, please let me know.

Thanks
