That may tell you where her mother was born. Another thing is that when your grandparent's married, they would have had to have proven they were Roman Catholic, if they married in a Catholic church, the church should have some kind of record of this. Churches also had registries for members, which gave where a person was born. Try that. Ellis Island may have a ship manifest. That should tell you where they were came from in Poland or Lithuania. http://www.stevemore.org. Use the gray form. Tina Ellis
