Hi,

This one was very difficult, due to geography, but I have it.
NOTE: there is less than 10 km distance between Dziewieniszki (today Lituania) and Gieranony (today Belarus), but it is in two different countries. After the WWI both were within Wilno area, in Poland, third country.

NOTE: this website might be of interest to search in Kresy (East from the Polish border).

IMPORTANT:
The first record is in Latin, please ask Dave on Latin records translations. What I see is that Constantino Gajdzis (the column on the very right) was a witness to the marriage Wincenty Kuklis with Helena Staniul. The same name - GAJDZIS - as on the Red Cross Document from 1985, with GAJDZIS searching Helena, and stating he is her cousin.

The second record is in Russian Cyrillic, please ask Ryszard/Staripolak on Russian records translations.

I did translate only the very right column, which is in Polish, and which provides information on 2 marriages of Wincenty Kuklis.

Best,
Elzbieta

It's a birth act in Cyrillic of Wincenty Kuklis. Please ask Ryszard/Staripolak on Russian translations.
The right column is in Polish, annotations on the birth act concerning subsequent events in life, such as marriage or death.
Here it is:

Wincenty Kuklis 30 wrzesnia 1923 r. w Dziewień. Kośc. poślub. z Helena Staniul
Prob. Dziew. Kośc. = Pastor of the church in Dziewieniszki

w Dziewien. Kośc. = w Dziewieniszkowskim Kościele // in the church in Dziewieniszki
poślub. = poślubiony // married

Translated:

Poles deported by Germans:
Results with Kuklis are 16 with another five duplicates. Most appear to be from the Wilno area.

Total 268 Kuklis, with most obviously resettled after 1945 on previous German territory.

Hi,

The attached document is from the Polish Red Cross in 1985, with a request from your Mom's cousin Gajdzis searching her, posted to the German Red Cross.

The postal address of GAJDZIS given in Szczecin was valid in 1985 - born in 1927, he should be 87 years old in 2014.

Several GAJDZIS (22) live in Szczecin today:
