Do you have any information as to whom he was going to especially in Pa? There was quite a large community in eastern Pa especially in the coal mining districts. I would direct you to the Lithuanian genealogical group site and you would probably find more information there. Good luck.

I know that Lithuania was part of the Russian Empire when they lived there. They came to the US in 1890's and lived in Pennsylvania. I have to put together a 30 minute presentation for other family history librarian volunteers on doing research in Lithuania, Poland, Lativa, and Estonia. Personally I have never done research there yet, I guess this is to help me learn how to do it. If anyone has suggestions on how to start and good websites to reference, I would appreciate hearing from you. I have done googled history of each country, looked at familysearch.org, Cyndi's list. Also below is a Hamburg record and I cannot even find a town by the name Trotzki.
