I have a record of their arrival in New York, Castle Garden, in 1888. They lived in NYC until 1898 when they moved to Elizabeth, NJ and settled there. I have another record (ship manifest) in 1893 which shows Melania returning to US again with two children. It shows they came from “Wilno”, which I understand is Vilnius. Melania had a brother, Zenon Zebrowski, that lived in Brooklyn, but his arrival date is unknown.

It's possible that they came from the part of Poland, Russia or Belarus that was part of Lithuania years ago. Where did they settle? This site is viewed by English speaking countries, so there's no way to help you unless you give us more clues ... where they settled when they came here, etc. Always dates and places help us to help you.

Searching for any birth/marriage records of my paternal grandparents, most likely from Vilnius, who emigrated to US between 1888-1893.
