| Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me find my great-grandmother's birth place so I can search for birth records. This info comes from her US alien registration but the English spelling must be pretty far off because Google isn't turning up anything. I'm also not very familiar with the country boundaries in the early 1900s, so I'm not even sure if I should be searching Polish, Lithuanian, or Russian archives. This is exactly how the place is written on the document I have:
I was born in or near: City: Kapaczy Province: Wilno Country: Poland, Russia I am a citizen or subject of: Poland If it's helpful, she was born in 1900 and arrived in the US in 1923. Thanks! |

| Hi Barb, thanks for the reply! Her maiden name was Stanislawa Konon or Konowska, her married surname was Grzyb. Her US marriage certificate lists her parents names as Vincent Konowska and Helena Taniuk. I'm attaching the ship manifest (she is row 2), the alien registration form, and marriage certificate. I also want to look into her husband, but I don't have enough supporting documents yet to know where to start. Thanks for any help you can provide! |

| Hello,
here are some records that I think relate to Stanislawa's brother, Michael marriage https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2489-5NC (parents: Vincent & Helen) 1930 census https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XQTW-52C (Sterling, Worcester, Massachusetts; cousin: Frank Konan) possible Frank's passenger list https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JJKB-GY4 (from "Smorgon", his father was Stanisław Konan from, "Kopaczi", Wilno). I haven't found Michael's passenger list. Smorgonie and Kopacze are now in Belarus, 25 km apart, close to Syczynięta mentioned by Marcel https://www.kami.net.pl/kresy/ Kopacze belonged to parish Żodziszki |

| Hi,
Unfortunately, I find nothing directly related to the parish of Żodziszki. Monika, do you see something? Then it is best to contact the archive in Grodno. -Barb |
