"It is very possible that that' s what it is. I got that name from my aunts' husband. I'm not sure if he actually saw it written somewhere or if my grandma told him once or if he over heard it. Thanks! "

Strouse, Tumosa, Morejunas Surnames

Does anyone know if "Strouse" and "Tumosa" or even "Morejunas" are actually Lithuanian names? I know Strouse is German, but I'm not sure if there is another spelling that is more Lithuanian or something? There were a lot of family secrets, and I've had a hard time locating any of my people in Lithuania. I know that Anna Tumosa (8 Jan 1889- 27 July 1980) was from Sovetsk, at least that's what I was told.See More
