My mothers maiden name is Bogdan; however she is from Washington and it was shorten from Bogdanowicz. They were from Lithuania. Unfortunately, there will be no relationship here but there maybe a possibility since I can't find the name of my greaet grandfathers brother who I think went to Michigan. I do know his sisters stayed in Lithuania.

I do know his sisters stayed in Lithuania. The BOGDAN's I am referring to were from a small village called Dobrynin, near Mielec, Poland. Unfortunately for you, that is a hefty distance from Lithuania. Sandy

Unfortunately for you, that is a hefty distance from Lithuania. Sandy Lithuania and Poland actually border on another! However it is quite a distance from the town in s. Poland that you are speaking of. However.... historically Lithuania was at one time part of the Polish Empire... and the Lituanian aristocrats used Polish as their main language. But then BOGDAN is such a common name... that it appears in many Slavic countries, as well as non-Slavic speaking Lithuania Robert Jerin ==== OHCUYAHO Mailing List ==== If you have Cuyahoga County data to share or own any books that you could offer lookups in, please the County Coordinator via email at (katemcclellan@vintagerecollections.com). ============================== Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
