*A Lithuanian history guide that aims to be brief enough to be read at a single time yet complete enough to help you fully understand history and its results. *Introductions to the Lithuanian politics, law, state symbols, language, theater, cinema, art, and literature. True Lithuania offers wide advertising possibilities. Our visitors are mainly tourists, expatriates, researchers and people who are descended from Lithuania. Most are from English-speaking countries but a significant minority is from other European countries. I found this website by accident whilst helping my 8 year old grand daughter to write a project about Lithuania. My Grandmother lived in London after emigrating from Lithuania in the 1890s. She lived in Vilnius and moved to England after her husband and son or daughter died from chicken pox. From my Mother’s birth certificate, it seems to show her married name in Lithuania was MAGGIE GEISZTORJITIS and her maiden name was KUBILIUS. She re-married a Lithuanian man in London called YUSEF (OR JOSEPH) SCINSKAS. ![]() I have searched all the census archives in London and can find no record of her, but my family told me that she did not have a birth certificate with her- we never knew how old she was, but I just remember her being very wrinkled and bent and lovely.I never met my Grandfather, who had died and when Maggie died, I was about aged about four. My Mother’s first name was EVA and she lived to be 98 years old, until three years ago. My wife and I visited Vilnius about 15 years ago and tried to get information from some Council Offices that we tracked down, but they simply told us that most records were destroyed by the Russians and so it was not worth looking. ![]() #Exile statsbar settings exad member already deinfed archive#.
