Hi,
I saw your message about the surname Berkeris. My mother's maiden name was Emily Bekeris ( they had changed it to Baker here) + it got my attention. I'm sorry to say that I have very little info about my family's history. All of my grandparents were from Lithuania but all were dead before I was born and my parents are gone now also. They came through Ellis Island and settled in Philadelphia. Wishing you good luck in your search, Jane K Kriebel
