I wondered why I was drawn to your posting -- Trusik isn't a surname in my family but Michalec and Valencik are -- I have a photo of a Michalec wedding and I know that one of the brides married a Trusik!Have been trying to locate it -- I MUST organize my material -- In Ellis Island records,there is a Jan Trusik,age 32,who went to St Louis in 1909 to his friend Martin Harustiak and also on ship were Juraj and Martin Valencik going to the same man (M. Harustiak who was their brother-in-law). Jan's next of kin was wife Katarina in Lubina.Another Jan Trusik,age 23,went to St Louis in 1923 -- to his Uncle Paul Trusik.Jan's next of kin in Lubina was his wife Katarina.Hope this helps.
