Query: WORYK, and KAT of Marion County

Looking for information on Andrew WORYK, he may have lived in the Indianapolis area. Andrew immigrated in 1910; he married a woman named Katherine around 1913 in Marion County. Their first child was born around 1915 possibly near Indianapolis. Andrew had a brother Peter born in Europe on 24 December 1884 with the middle initial of D. He married a Stella KAT in Marion County. There might have been one other brother named Dumitro born 23 Nov 1885. Any help would be appreciated.

  1. Edit: not sure where Andrew married Katherine Kalichun; may have been Indiana, may have been Pittsburgh.. .dunno. Would love to get a marriage certificate.

    Andrew and Katherine had their first child, Mary, in Indianapolis on August 10, 1915. Would love to get her birth certificate.

    Dmitro/Dumitro was the one who married "Stella Kat" in Marion County on May 14, 1914. Ditto on the marriage certificate.

    Andrew was related to a "William Woryk" who also lived in Indianapolis in 1916. Not sure of how they were related; assuming they were cousins, uncle/nephew, etc.

  2. Doug - The 1915 birth record can be requested from the Marion County Health Department's Vital Records section (http://www.mchd.com/vital1.htm). Also, the Indiana State Department of Health has copies of births from Indiana counties from 1907 onward(http://www.in.gov/isdh/19042.htm#VitalRecords). As for the 1914 marriage record (and the marriage applications for the bride & groom), they can be requested from the Marion County Clerk (http://www.indy.gov/eGov/County/Clerk/Pages/home.aspx)

    2. I am really looking for verification of Mary's *grandparents*. For that, I'm pretty sure I would need church birth/baptism records. They would have attended a Ukrainian Orthodox church somewhere in or around Indianapolis. Can anyone help me in that regards? I found this link that lists 3 such churches in Indiana:
