Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Photo Dating Please Lithuania Wedding
« on: Thursday 11 August 16 04:07 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I have posted in other forums here, but I also had a photo to share and I thought it was important to place it here, so I could get feedback from the community.

This is apparently my great great grandfather and mother in Lithuania during their wedding ceremony in the late 1890s. Does anyone know if this photo is an accurate representation from then? Does the style of suit and dress match for the time period? What about the quality of the photo?

Any and all feedback would be appreciated

Thank you!

The Common Room / Lutus -Lithuanian-
« on: Thursday 11 August 16 03:56 BST (UK)  »
I put this in the beginner thread, but maybe it is more appropriate here. So I need a little help from you lovely people. I have found from my research that some lines of my family tree are easier to trace than others. My Father's father's side is very easy, going all the way back to England.

However, my Father's Mother's side is less than easy. My great great grandfather and grandmother were married in Lithuania in the late 1890's. That much I do know.

I do not know, definitely, where they were born. One member, on Ancestry, listed that they were born in Poland. However, US census information plants them in Russia. Now I know there can be discrepancies from Census takers because we are all human after all. We are prone to making a mistake every now and again. With that being said, mixing up Poland and Russia seems like a pretty large mistake to make, even with the USSR not being dissolved during the time of the Census.

Alongside that, I do not know any information about their parents, siblings, or birthplace. I do have census records, immigration records, and a naturalization index.

If anyone has any useful links or tips to help with my search, that would be lovely.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

Family History Beginners Board / Lutus -Lithuania-
« on: Thursday 11 August 16 03:46 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone, first time posting here! I was hoping to maybe get some information from people on here, considering the Lithuanian board onAncestry is empty.

Here is my problem, I know the names of the great great grandfather and grandmother. Anton Lutus and Anna Koverita. They were married in Lithuania in the late 1890's. However, I found some discrepancies when comparing my grandparents birth location to that of other records. Some records stated they were born in Poland, others Russia. That feel like a pretty big geographical gap for census reporters to mess up on.

I was curious if anyone knows of any good websites to find more about my grandparents and their families? As of right now, I have US census information, Immigration information, and naturalization information, but none of that lists their parents, siblings, or place of birth.

Thank you

-Brandon
