Formation of Lithuanian Surnames and Lithuanian Surname Dictionary
by MST
The Dictionary of Lithuanian Surnames list five instances in three places of the name I am researching. Does anyone know to which decade/time period that this infomation relates and how it was obtained.
Also with regard to Lithuanian surname formation did this take place much later that say English surnames.
I cannot understand why there are so few people with the surname I am researching. This would suggest that the surname was only formed in the last 150 years.
In the absence of any qualified documentation I have had to make some educated guesses.
I can't answer your question but where can I find this book of surnames?
by
I would love to look up my family surnames. I have not found it in any of the libraries around here..... My ancestors names (masculine form of course) are Dagys (or Dages/Dagis) Slapelis and Jakstys.Is there any way for me to find out?
Re: I can't answer your question but where can I find this book of surnames?
by Anonymous
The Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture in Chicago have a Dictionary of Lithuanian Surnames.
It will give you meanings of names and the towns and villages that are common to the surname but what I cannot find out is the date of this information.
You do not have to join the Museum to obtain a surname search.
Do you mean "Lietuviu pavardziu zodynas" (2 vols., Vilnius, 1985)? The book was assembled collectively by teams of linguists. It includes just about all Lith. surnames, where they were found, how many families in each locality. The names are in contemporary, not historical, spelling (e.g., you'll find Bareisa --with a checkmark over the S -- but not Bareisza or Barejsza). The cutoff date was 1939. After that, war, industrialization, etc. brought about massive population movements so that it was no longer possible to localize last names in any linguistically or historically meaningful way.
Does any one know of the surname Stossun or Stossan.We are looking for anyone that has this last name becauseit was my mothers maiden name.She married Adolf Kunas and they emigrated to Canada in 1952.
The first spelling looks like the surname Stasiunas (Stasiūnas). The second spelling looks closer to the surname Stasionis.
Anyway, I wonder about such distortion, used in the original documents of the middle of XXth century. It should mean that your mother had Lithuanian ancestors, but they were assimilated much earlier, presumably by the German-speaking community (according to the spelling of surname).
I should stress that all mentioned things are unreliable, based only on my guess.
Can anybody out there give me the words (in both the Lithuanian and English words, and the names of the hymns) to a few traditional Lithuanian Catholic Hymns? Especially for different times of the Catholic Year (especially times of the year that are particularly important to the Lithuanians)? I want to put the Lithuanian culture "BACK" into the "family." For some reason or another, it seems to have drifted away from my family and I just want to "reactivate" it. The only Lithuanian thing we do anymore is we still have the X-Mas Kucios Dinner and we have a picnic in the Church Cemetery on All Souls Day, but that's it! Can anybody out there help me with the Lithuanian Hymns and any other old Lithuanian traditional customs? I would really appreciate it! Thank you and may God bless all you guys!
Your best bet is to go to the list of Lithuanian Church's on this site and contact one close to you.
I know the Cambridge MA church has hymn books for the Lituanian Mass but I don't know about English translation.

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
My grandfather Frederick Edward Domeika was born in Schauren on June 17,1868. His father was Karl John Domeika and his mother was Caroline Moyer. He came to the USA in the early 1890's.
It is believed that he was a twin and he brother also came to the USA. ANY ADDITIONAL FAMILY INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED
I am backtracking in these messages as I recently came across some info on the Ellis Island site. Waclaw Domeyko age 35 arrived at Ellis Island on 4/29/1908, noted as "non-immigrant alien" (been in USA before?), wife (?) Alexandria age 29, left brother's Boleslovas Domeyko in Schaulen Kowno, this is also his place of birth. Going to Antoni Domeyko in Philadelphia PA. Altho I am not related, the passenger listed just below this person is my interest, Anton Bielawski (Bieliauskas), and I have a hunch these fellows knew each other. Hope this helps.

I am searching For my ggrandfatherAdamos or ADam who lived in Slutsk in 1914. His mother Katarz lived there as well. He had a son Stanislaw and a wife Elsbeta. If anyone can help me find information I would really appreciate it. On the death certificate of Adamos it says he was born in POland. Adam's dad's name was Felix.
If anyone can help me shed some light on this family I would appreciate it.
My e-mail address is:
I just recently found info that my grandmother's sister's name was Paulina Mackevich. Her maiden name was Bernotevicius (not sure of that spelling). Her children are Jonas, Jadze, and Helena. I don't have her husband's first name. She came from the eastern side of Lithuania, but settled in Byelorussia. Her Lithuanian relatives have not been in contact with them for some time. As far as I know none of the family is Jewish, but perhaps her husband was.
I'm looking for relatives with the above surnames. Some of the Kamarauskases, Skieses and Andrukaitises settled in the Scranton, Pa., area about 100 years ago.
Please write to me at sandral18706@yahoo.com or skiesludwig@yahoo.com
my mother use to always say "tooksh tooksh" whenever talking to a little kid in our family that needed to take his bath. Such as, "William, it's time for a tooksh tooksh." "Tooksh tooksh" is the way this phrase sounded, i'm almost sure that this isn't the real spelling of the phrase. What does this phrase really mean, though? Bath, to wash up, what? Is it even a lithuanian phrase, or something my mother probably just made up? She did speak Lithuanian all the time though. She was born in Lithuania.
My mother always said "plukstu,plukstu" which I always took to mean "to splash around in the water" when taking a bath. She also was Lithuanian born and always spoke in Lithuanian to me.
I'm researching the above two surnames. I don't really know where to start, if these sound familiar to anyone, please let me know and I will share what little else I have on these names.
Searching for information on Great Granparents. Positive names were changed and or misspelled.

My grandfather was Antanas. His British passport states Lukoszevieze but it may be Lukosevicius. He fought for the British in the 1st World War. His brother returned home and not heard of again. Married to Annie Kanauskas in Glasgow in 1919-1920. Four children - Edith, Dela, Anna and Arnold (my father). Moved to Aylesham, Kent in 1925 to work in the Kent coal mines. Edith died in a bombing raid in 1940. The other three remaining children are alive today.
Some family are known to have moved to the Chicago area - last heard of in 1944 when one of our extended family visited Aylesham, Kent before D-Day - others were in Canada.
I will find out more details but this is a long shot to start with. Interested in any information
My father's name was Francis John Kaukas. He was born in Edmonton, London on 6 December 1915. His father's name was Joseph. It was thought that the family left Luthuania in the early 1900's. Some went to America and others to England. My father was one of 6 brothers and 1 sister, George, Joseph, Cass, Stanley, Bernard and sister Winifred. They lived mostly around North London/Harlow/Ealing areas in England. Only Bernard and Winifred are still living.
I am the daughter of Francis John. My name is Valerie Anne Burns (nee Kaukas). My father married Marion Iris Joan Pople during the second world war (around 1944) He was in the Royal West Kents. My mother originates from Yeovil, Somerset, England. She is still alive and well at 83.
I am trying to trace any ancestors that I do not already know of. George Kaukas emigrated to Australia. His wife's name was Babe.
I know that there are very few Kaukas's around in England as most seemed to have female offspring!
Does anyone know of any contacts which would be helpful?
Please contact me via e-mail or by telephone:

I am the daughter of Marion Kaukas here in New Zealand.
Her parents were Peter and Marija Kaukas who came here to NZ via Germany during WW2.
We are also now doing a search on the Kaukas family Geneology to make a family tree and were wondering if this could be a link of some sort to the branch of the Kaukas family you are inquiring about ?
I do not know much about my heritage and am starting to research it. I know my ancestors came from Lithuania. Anyone with a name matching mine or close to it, please contact me. Also if you have any information on anyone with my surname, Kondertavage, please contact me.
The surname is distorted. The original Lithuanian surname should be Kondratavic^ius (Kondratavičius in Baltic Windows-1257 encoding) most likely. You can also meet its Polish counterpart Kondratowicz, which could be used in old documents.
Does anybody have information on the first name "Maksem," BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, any info on the surname "Buta?" I think it is Russian. - Also, does anybody know if the surname "Kesel" is Jewish (I think Phillipa was Jewish, and I'm almost sure she was Russian. She was married to Maksem). Any info on "Phillipa" would be appreciated too, and now that think about it, I'm wondering if "Buta" might be Jewish also (I doubt it though - It doesn't sound Jewish). Does anybody know? Thank you and God bless you all.
Maksem looks like the Russian first name Maksim. This name is not used by Lithuanians nor Poles, but I know that it exists in Germany too (spelled Maxim).
Buta surname is not Jewish itself, although there could be Jewish families bearing it (many Jewish families had local surnames). I'm not sure about its country of origin. I know a Lithuanian Buta, and I will ask him about the origin of surname.
The spelling of first name Phillipa depends on her nationality. Anyway, this name is not typical for Jews, because it is the name of Christian saint too :).
Kesel surname varies in Germany, Poland and Lithuania. There can be several ways of its origin, but it comes from German words Kessel or Kaesel most commonly. The Lithuanian variant of this surname is Keselis.
I've asked my colleague Buta about his surname.
According to him, the Buta surname is a native surname of Samogitian (western Lithuanian) origin. There are 60 references to this surname in the white pages of Lithuania, mostly in western municipalities.
The surname is very simple, so I'm still not sure about its analogs in other countries.
By the way, the first name Maksem could be shortened from the Lithuanian name Maksimilijonas.
Born December 30, 1920 in either PIKELIAI or SIAULIA, Lithuania. His father, Joseph, was a policeman and he had an Aunt, Sophia, who could have possibly moved to Chicago. He was a international soccer player and graduated from high school as 'VICKANIA" is on the certificate.
Could you ask your "Buta" collegue if he has ever heard of the above person??
Hallo,
Samogitia or Prussia will be right. The old-prussian word "but" means "to be, to exist". The word "butan, buttas, buttika, butina" means "house, home".
Beate Szillis-Kappelhoff
Lithuanian words, corresponding to Prussian ones mentioned by you: "buti" (to be, to exist), "butas" (house, apartment), "butinas" (necessary).
By the way, Buta surname has two close spellings in Lithuania: Buta - with simple "u" (like "butas") and Būta - with "u with upper stroke", pronounced like English "oo" (like "būti", "būtinas").
My granfather's name is Jozas Bartnikas, he was deported from Lithuania to Siberia in 1947. He died in 1979. His grandfather's name was Ludvig Fon Bartling, who immigrated to Lithuania from Sweden together with his two brothers. That's all I know
I am sorry that I don't have any information for you, since I know that your initial reason for coming to this forum was to get info on your last name). So, again, I am sorry that I don't have any information for you, but you did mention that you live in Moscow, Russia. My great grandfather was from Russia (I think Moscow), but I'm not sure about Moscow, but he was from Russia. Could you possibly tell me if there are any Simonovich's (Semenoff's, Semenov's, Semenovv's) in Moscow, Russia as of today? Or, even better, if you could possibly give me any village names that have Simonovich's currently living in them?
Looking for any information on my grandfather. Was told he was from Lithuania and they changed his name when he came over here to Anthony Raymond. His date of birth was June 17, 1896 or l897. I sent away for his U.S. Social Security Application, but my grandmother filled it out wrong. Looks like he was born in a town called Noycamasca,(spelling??), Lithuania (can't read, there was a fold in the paper). He married Cassie Velma Ramey who was born in Nova Scotia. Her date of birth was August 16, 1900. They moved to West Somerville, MA. Just found out he had brothers that came over too. One brother is named Joseph Raymond. Think they live in Brockton, MA area?? I keep running into a brick wall looking for info on him. If anyone can help, please e-mail me at GillLizz@aol.com Thank you so much.
My husbands grandmother was Kararina Ramanauskas. Her brother Pious Ramanauskas and family name changed to Raymon when they came to the United States. They lived in the Scranton, PA and N.Y. area.

Please read my message dated May 26th. I know this is reaching a lot more families than my 175 letters to Mankus families, but still with no results. Guess there are no relatives anyplace. Either that, or they are too ashamed to admit it and come forth. I am 81 years old and as stated before "I am just trying to put some family information together to leave to my children and theirs." I am not seeking donations, just family. Come out, come out, where ever you are.
Mankus, Monkus, or Monkevicius!!!
Charles -- Happy 81st birthday. I just turned 56 today. My grandmother's sister was named Rosalia Andrijauskas; I don't have her date of birth, but my grandmother was born around 1886, and another sister, Martha, was born around 1889 -- all in Lithuania. Rosalia married a gentleman by the name of Monkevage, at times referred to as Monkevicius. I'm sorry, but I don't know his first name or any more about him, except that they had four children (Blanche, Eileen, Josephine, and Marian) and that the family eventually changed their name to Mann. Also, they moved to Maywood, Illinois. I don't know if there is any connection to your family name, but keep in mind how the original name can be changed, drastically. Good luck to you in your search, and, again, Happy Birthday.
perhaps they now live in wood river illinois and can give you some good news on your lietuva background. One such person with the surname of Monkus married my Aunt who was my God mother somewhere around 1940 - l944
in southern illinois. happy late birthday...cousin?

Labas! My father was from Vilnius and my mother from Ryga. They emigrated to Mexico in 1918. I have never been able to find out nothing about this last name! I think it might be Jewish but I was wondering if somebody has heard of this last name. Any help will be appreciated! Thank u!
We leave for Lithuania next week and will be renting a car for a couple of days while we are there. We'll be driving in the Suvalkija region visiting family villages some of which are only accessible via gravel roads.
Any tips/advice regarding driving there?
Any special insurance/documentation requirements?
Anything else I forgot to ask about?
The first thing that you will notice is that the locals will pass anything at any time. The rule is that if you should happen to see a car coming at you you,pull over to the shoulder.
Do not rent from a "rent-a-wreck" outfit. try a well known --avis--hertz--you will have a more dependable car.
the median strip is sometimes used as a means to cross over to the other direction.
get a phone # for any type of road service if available
and by all means have a great time.
our friends learned these lessons the hard way.

I think there will be no problem to reach all villages in summer time. Now is a beautifull weather in Vilnius, no clouds, day time temperature is about 25 degrees C, night time - about 15 degrees C.
Regards.
Vidmantas.
DRIVE DEFENSIVELY. When visiting there last year I whitnessed two terrible car accidents during a three week stay. Locals drive very fast even on gravel roads, and do not slow down when they approach a hill and can't see over the horizon while flying down the middle of the road.Luckly you can see the dust cloud on gravel roads and traffic is very light.
Ted have a great visit - the people are absolutely wonderful, the food and native beer are outstanding, plus the women are beautiful and you will not see a single overweight teenager unless she is a tourist.
I would be interested to hear how you get on with your visit as I have a friend who is planning to go when we have found out the village that his grandparents came from !. We think that this is possibly Pajevonys but this is just an educated guess. We are fairly certain that it is in the Vilkaviskis district.
Hello Maureen: You may find some information on the site of a wonderful woman whom I met on Little Lithuania about a year ago. She has visited Lithuania and has information and photos on her site.

It was my dream for many years to visit Lithuania. I hope you go and have a wonderful time. Tom will be able to help you a lot. He is super intelligent and an angel to those of us seeking information. I am still struggling to make my connections with family beginnings, and appreciate help from everyone.
My great aunt [Antoinette Martischus] came from Lithuania when she was 16 years old .. she died in 1962 at the age of 82. She married a man whose last name was Globis. They resided somewhere in the Chicago area many years ago, but Globis is a Lithuanian name, at least that is what I was told.

Research In Lithuanian Archives... an alternative?
by
I was reading on The Lithuanian Global Resources Web Site, one of the suggestions was to hire some one from outside the archives. You'll get your information quicker.
"Another option you might consider is a mother and son team. The son, living in Vilnius, obtains the documentation and forwards it to his mother in the USA who does all interpretation. They charge $150 for the service but guarantee a response within 90 days. Their servuce includes translation of all documents at no extra charge. If you are interested in this service, DROP THEM A LINE."
Supposedly they are a pretty good resource. Is anyone else willing to do research? I think it's a great resource but I find myself to be VERY impatient when it comes to this "hobby" of mine. Haha!!!
Anyway, just thought I would suggest this and see about other possibilities!
Nichole
The email address is: vildoc@mailexcite.com
The email address I gave you: vildoc@mailexcite.com is not a working email address anymore. Unfortunately I do not know of their new one. Does anyone else know of "independent" persons willing to do research in the archives?

The surname Baltrunas (Baltrūnas) is common in Lithuania, so you should give more information to recognize relatives. There are 264 Baltrunas families on the white pages of Lithuania, 23 of them - in the Rokiskis district.
The surname Cepukas (Čepukas) is not so common, but 67 families on the white pages (12 of them - in the Rokiskis district) is not so few too.
The village Nemeniunai (Nemeniūnai) still exists in the Rokiskis district, near the small town Kamajai. The white pages show no one Baltrunas or Cepukas in Nemeniunai, but this forest village can have no phones at all .
