Hi My uncle was a miner called Willie Young. We knew this was not his real name as we thought that his family came from Lithuania. I have since found his birth certificate and he was registered Wincas Yankauckas. He was born in 1907 in Carfin, Lanarkshire and his parents were Jouzas Yankauckas and Ona Kulvaites. The certificate said they were married in Poland. My two queries are 1) Does anyone on the list know if they are Polish or Lithuanian names and 2) Is there any record or history of European immigrants within the coal industry in the late 19th/early 20th centuries? I worked with some in the mines in the 1960's but thay were mainly Poles or ex German POW's who chose to stay in Britain after the war
