    1. [BRICK-WALLS] Help with Immigration from Lithuania
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: JenniferLTaber Surnames: Teiberis, Gerlites, Kozlouskas, Shatutuis Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.researchresources.brick-20-walls/407/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello, I am looking for my great grandparents, Jonas Teiberis and Isabel Kazlauskiute. I believe my great grandfather was from Vilnius but unsure about my great grandmother. They both settled in Grand Rapids, MI. in the early 1900s. Current spelling is Taber. Also, I believe that I have found the ship documents regarding when Jonas came over. I found two coming into St Albans, VT from Canada and one on a German ship. There is a possibility they are not his as his census records are conflicted about when he emigrated (either 1890 or 1902). His parents were possibly named George Teiberis and Mary Gerlites (my great aunt wrote these down on a piece of paper but she has since passed). I have not found any records regarding my great grandmother other than listed on the census and city directory pages along with Jonas (John). We also have some family papers that show the baptism dates of their children and there are multiple spellings for her first and last name. The spelling I used above is the one used most often but in another handwritten note from a great aunt, she spelled the last name the same as Isabel's father: Peter Kozlouskas. I have her mother's name as Anne Shatutuis. According to census records, Isabel came over in 1906. Both she and Jonas were naturalized in 1914 (according to census data) but have been unable to locate the paperwork. Any help on trying to find out where they came from in Lithuania, how to locate possible passage (particularly for Isabel), naturalization papers, spelling variations, etc would be appreciated.

Author: Pangela84 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.researchresources.brick-20-walls/406/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi there, Need help please with a list of military hospitals that were active during the first world war in Ottawa, Ontario precisely. To clarify, my grandmother was told she was born in a military hospital in Ottawa and was given a series of numbers and letters which I conveniently don't have. However, my aunt remembers the first three letters were possibly 'RCF'. Interesting, right?! Anybody who can help...please do! Also, apparently a fire damaged the hospital and thus "destroyed" her birth record. The latter part I don't believe seeing as my grandmother may have had a different father than what she was told. Perhaps just a cover up? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
