Hi, I have recently started to try to research my family tree and I noticed that you had Bukavicius on your list. My Mom's maiden name was Bukas and nobody in the family seems to know how the longer form was spelled. All they can tell me is that it was something that sounds like Bukavaskas. I have found 3 censuses that list them, their ship passenger manifest & my Great grandfather's Naturalization papers & every one of them has a different spelling. So I am wondering if maybe it might be Bukavicius. Cheers, Joan

I am researching my mother in law's family. She was born in Liaudginai in 1927 - her name Marija Dicmanaite and her mother's name Auguste. Her father was Martinas Dicmonas. Does anybody have any links to this family. My email is junealeks@bigpond.com Thank you.

My grandmother's parents were born in Lithuania. My great grandmother came to America in 1906, with my grandmother(about 3 yrs. old) and my aunt(a babe in arms). My grandmother said that her parents never spoke much about their life back in Lithuania.Vague mention about where the trio came into the US. It was suggested that they may have come by way of Baltimore? The last name was Americanized to Yocas. My great grandfather, Ludwig, was born in "Telszea" and great grandmother, Amelia, was born on May 12, 1879. Her maiden name was "Kerzuiskus". An uncle had gone to Lituania, but found that any records were destroyed in the war...WW1, I guess. Does any of this sound viable or familiar??
