Podobne ako meno Faško, aj tu došlo v histórii ku zmene mena. Meno Rusnák sa menilo na Dugát. Avšak došlo k trochu inému vývoju ako v prípade príslušníkov mien Faško – Kaclík. V tomto prípade sa takmer nevyskytovali prímenia a ani zloženiny, napr. Rusnák – Dugát. Ku zmene došlo vo všetkých vetvách a zmena bola dokonalá – skoro všetci boli relatívne rýchlo nositeľmi mena Dugát. Je otázne, koľko z potomkov našich predkov sa dnes volá Rusnák. Ja o žiadnom neviem. S menom Dugát som sa podobne ako aj s menom Kaclík vo väčšom počte stretol na Slovensku iba na Horehroní. Najstarší známy člen patriaci do našej rodiny je Michal Rusnák nar. 1725, ktorý si vzal Máriu Macuľovú. Rovnako ako Kaclíkovci, odišli niektorí do Ameriky.
Moja matka mala svokru Máriu za slobodna Dugátovú – od Ratajov a jej sestra Jarmila si vzala Vladimíra Dugáta, ale od Klincov. Dve sestry Ondrášikové z Piešťan si vzali dvoch chlapcov z Horehronia. Zaujímavé údaje zo sčítania obyvateľov v roku 1810 sú tu.
Similar to the name Faško, there was also a change in the name’s history here. The name Rusnák was changed to Dugát. However, the development was somewhat different than in the case of individuals with the names Faško – Kaclík. In this case, surnames and compounds such as Rusnák – Dugát were almost non-existent. The change occurred in all branches, and the transformation was complete – almost everyone quickly became bearers of the name Dugát. It is questionable how many descendants of our ancestors are now called Rusnák. I don’t know of any. I have encountered the name Dugát, as well as the name Kaclík, in larger numbers only in Horehronie in Slovakia. The oldest known member of our family is Michal Rusnák, born in 1725, who married Mária Macuľová. Similarly to the Kaclík family, some also went to America.
My mother’s mother-in-law, Maria, was a maiden Dugátová – from Rataje, and her sister Jarmila married Vladimír Dugát, but from Klince. Two Ondrášik sisters from Piešťany married two boys from Horehronie. Interesting information from the 1810 census is here.
