I came across your site re: Dutka. I am researching my mother's side (Dutka) and came across the following' which may help you.
Start with a Search of the Ellis Island site http://www.ellisisland.org/http://www.ellisisland.org/ .
To access the site, click on the site URL above. Type in Dutka in the appropriate window. There will be along wait. The next screen will indicate they have 310 matches. Go to the "Ethnicity Edit" choice on the left hand bar. It will bring up a number of choices. Click on Galician, if you are Ukrainian background, you may also want to add Ruthenian. Click search ( another long wait). You will end up with the list below i.e., 17 matches. Click on each name for additional information. You will be asked to jopin the Ellis Island site. There is no cost and is non-invasive. After signing up you will have access to the detailed info (see second attachment below re: Passenger Record for Dutka, Jan. Copy info.
Next click Ship Manifest URL on the left side. It will bring up the next attached page below "Ship Manifest". Click on "Click to enlarge Manifest" button. It will take a few minutes to open up. Scrolldown to the appropriate line 24 and across. It indicates, hand-written, that Jan was headed to Providence, he had $20 and he was going to a sister Mary. The writing is difficult to read.
My Dutka's are in Canada. Pitr and son Iwan came via Ellis Island in 1899. They headed to Winnipeg Manitoba where gthey were assigned a tract of land in Manitoba. On the same boat were Hryc, wife Maria and children Anna and Paraska. They, too, were headed to Manitoba.
My grandfather Peter Dutka, came over in 1907, via Halifax Nova Scotia with mother Anna (nee Wozny). His father was Alexander and had arrived earlier. I am still searching the microfilm records (tedious business) for his arrival via Canada.
If you have any info on the Dutka tree, especially from Ukraine (Galicia) and are willing to share, I would most appreciate it.
Thank you and hope this helps,
