Theresa Paulics was born Sep 26, 1847 in Magyarpolony, Hungary. She died in 1926 in Hungary, probably Magyarpolony.
There is considerable controversy about Theresa’s first name. Her name, Theresa, seems to be agreed to by all parties. Myrle Augustine Carden’s notes has her as Grace Theresa. Fabian Adam Augustine’s death certificate shows Teresa Elizabeth Palitz according Francis G. Augustine. Louise Augustine Lynch’s notes say her name was Catherine Theresa. Len Paulitz records indicate only that her name was Terezia. Catherine Paulitz of Ohio told me on the telephone that she was witness to a considerable argument between the Augustines about Theresa’s other name. This was during the time that Catherine lived in Washington, DC in the 40’s and 50’s. I do not know which Augustine’s she meant. I’ll use Theresa here since that is the way my daughter spells her name.
Theresa’s daughters went to Potstown, PA and didn’t keep in contact with the rest of the family. George settled in Baltimore, MD. Ben worked in the city as a baker. John went to Alexandria, VA to learn the barber trade. (according to Myrle Augustine)
According to notes made by Kevin Paulitz on a trip to Hungary in 1982 Stephanus(Stephen), later magyarized to Istvan had 6 children, Josef Sept 15, 1841, Janos July 19, 1843, Pal (Paul) Jan 25, 1846, Marie April 25, 1846, Terezia Sept 26, 1847 and Anna April 10, 1851.
