A Closer Look (Part 83)

Panemunėlis, Lithuania, about 1902 to 1904. This is Bronislava. Bronislava was the wife of my Dad's paternal uncle Kazimieras. Bronislava was the mother of Henry and Vytas. That also makes her my Kaunas Cousin's Great-Grandmother.

Here's the original post.

Thanks to my Toronto Cousin for making this photo available to us.

A Closer Look (Part 61)

Here's the original post.

A Closer Look (Part 54)

Palanga, Lithuania, about 1920. This is my paternal Grandfather, Vytautas. He was 26 years old in 1920. Family members referred to Vytautas as "the grey one" because his hair color changed when he was quite young.

We don't have many photos of him in civilian clothing; I would enjoy seeing him wearing that hat.

Here's the original post.

All Saints Day

Kaunas, Lithuania, November 1, 1958. A relative sent this snapshot of my paternal Grandfather's grave. The family member noted she took the photo on All Saints Day.

The letters "A.A." stand for "Amžina Atsilsi," or "Eternal Rest." Lithuanians use the phrase to show respect for the deceased. A Lithuanian customarily says "Amžina Atsilsi" before uttering the name of a dead person. So, for example, were I to refer to my paternal Grandmother in conversation, I would say, "Amžina Atsilsi Tatjana."

Panemunėlis, Lithuania, about 1902 to 1904. This is Charles ("Karolis"), the first husband of my paternal Grandfather Vytautas's paternal aunt, Stanislava. I posted the photo earlier here.

I have a relative who, when young, looked a lot like Charles.

A Happy Visit
