I assume that the surname would be spelled Duc' (accent on the c). The named town/village I would guess to be Kosice and Hran. Hran is in the former Zemplin Megye = county but Kosice is not. The family name is found today in Trebisov, Kozuchov, Hrc'el, Sec'ovce and Zemplinske Hradiste. Thos villages are very close to your target area.

When searching for genealogical information, knowing the birth village is paramount because records are organized by village not nationally. It is also necessary to know the religion. To locate church records for Slovakia, knowing the village/town name, go to the LDS web site: www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp
