Mr. Irene's Maternal Grandmother, Anna, and her Sister, Petra, emigrated to the United States as young women. They left behind Parents Agnes and Jacob, and Sisters Emily and Marta.
Contact with the family back in Lithuania was sporadic because of the expense of sending letters and the slow delivery of mail. A holiday greeting, like an Easter card, occasionally arrived. Anna and Petra, for example, also got word when Emily became engaged to Adam J.
The family back home also sent wedding photos and snapshots of the extended family, when they got together. Here is one such image:
Near Tauragė, Lithuania, about 1915. This may be the wedding celebration of Anna's sister, Emily. She stands, in the light dress, on the far left, next to Adam J., who, like the other men, wears a boutonniere. Emily's sister Marta is next to Adam J. Agnes, the mother of the young women—and the mother of immigrants Anna and Petra—sits in the center of the babushka group, smiling gently.
The other folks are Adam J.'s relatives. Agnes's husband, Jacob, does not appear in this photo.

Southwestern Lithuania, about 1914. We don't know much about Adam J., except that he married Emily, one of the non-emigrating sisters of Mr. Irene's maternal Grandmother, Anna. Adam J. and Emily lived out their lives in Lithuania.
