I have recently acquired some identity papers of my great-grandmother's, in which she gives her birthplace as Keturvalakin, Sewalki - at least that is the name which was written down by the official concerned, so the spelling is a little suspect. I would be grateful if anybody could give me some more detailed indication of where this is - is it a village, or a part of Suwalki, or a region? I know the family came to England from the Kalvaria-Suwalki area in the 1880s, but this gives me the chance to pinpoint their origin a little more closely.
