Surname Spelling Challenges: Kreipovich, Geraitis/Giraitis, Strimike & Maldabuois ?
I'm helping another friend with Lithuanian lineage and am stuck again with names. Any suggestions on alternate spellings of KREIPOVICH? Allegedly, Michael Vito Kreipovich immigrated from Lithuania (time frame unknown.) Is the single female version of Giraitis "Giraitaite"? Eva Giraitis immigrated in 1903 from Lithuania. Any variations of STRIMIKE? William Strimike, born 25 August 1877, immigrated in 1898. The place of birth on William's WWII Draft Card is listed as MALDABUOIS. Any…See More

Thank you kindly for the explanation of the endings. I would have never been able to find the manifest based upon my limited knowledge. This is not my family line but that of a friend, and so I am unfamiliar with the Lithuanian traditions.

- Interesting...so was she actually Trakimas/Trakimasaite/Trakimasiute? or was she Trakimavicius/Trakimaviciute? Maybe it was shortened. Connerton is an extinct village in Butler Township, Schuylkill County, PA...just on the high road from Girardville through William Penn to Shenandoah. My grandfather was born there.
I checked but didn't find a logical match for Butkiniku...which changing the ending should be Butkininkai. The closest I found were:
Butkinai
Butkiškiai
Batkūnai

- Hi J,
Thanks for joining my Lithuanian group.
Your Petrauskas name is one of the most common names in Lithuania, as I'm sure you discovered.
Kruzik seems to be a shortened form of Kružikas or Kružikauskas.
Trakimas (male form) you have spot on, but it can also be spelled Trakymas.
Szukewecute would be a Polonized spelling of the maiden female form of Šukevičius--it would properly be Šukevičiute for an unmarried girl, and Šukevičiene for a woman married to a Mr. Šukevičius. Do you know where in Lithuania this family is from?
