I was reading the Manly Daily earlier today (Tue 9 Oct) and read a notice regarding the passing of Dinko Kumarich. It is indeed a small world. As a child in the 1960′s, I lived on Warriewood Road, Warriewood in Sydney and I can vaguely recall the Kumarich family with 2 daughters, especially Diane. My late father George (Jure) Vrandich migrated to Australia in 1936 at the age of 20 from Pucisce, Brac and was also from that generation of strong, resilient Dalmatians.

I pass on my condolences to the family of Mr Kumarich.

That’s fascinating to know that both families were tied together by marriage! I’ll have to ask my dad if he knows of any other stories. I’m heading to Biloxi next Tuesday for Mardi Gras, and will see several Kuluz family members. Biloxi has a large population of Yugoslavs. My dad’s brother is also involved in events with Yugoslavs in New Orleans, LA, so he might have some stories to tell. I’ll see what I can find out from them.

In the meantime, my email address is jusbnkc @ aol.com, if you’d like to chat in the future.

Thank you SO much for this detailed account of this story of survival. I have been looking for the past year into my family history and particularly details about this story.
Matthew Kumarich was my great grandfather.
It was an emotional experience reading about this as it confirmed things that I had only heard in fragments through passed down stories. I was particularly touched to read about the men praying to St. Nikolas. Matthew made a deal with God that if he survived, he would name a son Nikolas. This was my grandfather and now my brother also carries this name! I would love to hear from Casey Kuluz (or others) to find out about these men receiving a ‘key to the city’, or something to do with formal recognition from the mayor or city authorities of their survival? This has been passed down as part of this story. Any more information about my great grandfather would be wonderful. We are also distantly related to Kuluz. Matthew Kumarich’s wife Ana’s grandmother was Ana Kuluz married to Grgo Bulat (b. c.1820s). Dalmatians always hang out with family!
I am so grateful for the gift of this story. My great grandfather Matthew Kumarich was indeed an adventurous and resilient man.
In appreciation,
Katarina Kumarich, Melbourne, Australia.

Matthew was my great grandfather. My dad said that Matthew had enough of the boats after this experience, and preferred to stay on land. =)

His sons (Tony, Nick, & Vincent {my grandfather}) later moved to Biloxi, and established a canning factory. Most of the Kuluz’s are still in Biloxi.

Wow, thanks for writing. We bought the book for my Father-in-law so he could read the whole thing and he really enjoyed it. I’m wondering what other tales he’ll have for us after he takes it to the Slavonian Lodge in Biloxi and talks with his friends.
