Richie C.'s Comments

Hi Richie,

I am working on a Harris Family that is in South Africa. The progenator of the family came from Vilna in Lithuania in 1877, via London. Some where along the way, he changed the surname to Harris. We have no idea what the original name is, but are trying to find it. There are several possibilities which are being investigated at this time. His given name was Isaaic, and he was Jewish.

Thanks for the invitation. I,too, am interested in Jewish
Lithuanian background (although I've barely started
research). Does your research overlap here?

Hi Richie,
i joined this website at a suggestion of a friend, but to be honest, I haven't spent anytime reviewing it.
thanks for your invitation,

Richie,

Great! How do I join?

A comment re: Max's suggestion. I have also found the website, www.jewishgen.org to be most helpful. I, too, highly recommend it.

sorry didn't see your reply to Jan. Am looking forward even more to seeing your site. For now, I need to get some sleep.

Will keep in touch.

Well, Ritchie, I believe I am in the same boat as Jan below, coincidentally. However, thanks for the invite. I'll check it out.
Good luck with your site.

Kitty

Thank you for the invitation. My Lithuanian ancestors were Jewish, so that may not mesh with other Lithuanian research. They were from an area that was near Kovno/Kaunas.

Best Wishes!

Jan

thanks! It is good to know.

Oh great! All I had was the spelling for my sources: NY passenger list and US passport application. I will make a note of your spelling. Do you know anything about these areas? Oh and his last name was Kulis.

Hi Ritchie - thank you for inviting me to your group. My adopted maternal grandmother's ancestry was Lithuanian. I don't know much family history and she has passed away, although I continue to get to know her family. Her father immigrated in 1885 from Kupiszki and his wife (nee Stephan) in 1886 from Ritine. Always looking to flesh out more details!

Hi Richie,
Thanks for the invite.
I do not have much information on my Lithuanian ancestry...but I keep searching.

I have a group, too, litvakpoli@yahoogroups.com but not much activity of late. I'll keep your group in mind. Thanks!

Richie, thanks for the invite in respect of the Oliphants. Mine come from Fife and Perth in Scotland.

Hi Richie, Of course I'm interested in the new group. I am researching Mowshowitz from the Kaunas area of Lithuania just South of the Latvian border. Have a good one, Janice

I see several groups you've created. Not sure which ones to join. My great-great grandmother was Anastasia Delaney, came from Ireland 1847 (don't know county yet). Family settled in WI and then MN, buried in St Paul MN. I don't see either state listed in your groups. I have not yet worked any of her siblings up to present day.

Hi Ritchie,
I'm researching the Runnals of New Hampshire, and Massachusetts

Hi Richie,
I'm also researching the runnals line, which Runnals are you trying to trace

Hi Richie:

Too bad, we almost had a connection.
But I do have Eliza Gribble married John Mogridge both of Crediton.
about 1845.
Also, William Snyder of Pennsylvania Dutch, married (Martha) Faith
Gribble in Waterloo, Canada.

Hi Richie:
The first sign of the family of Conibears of which I descend, started in Morchard Bishop with George Cunnibear marrying Elizabeth Browne. in 1702.
The Gribble Family started in Crediton about 1695.
My grandparents were Lewis Conibear and Ada Mary Gribble who married in 1896, Crediton.
I'd be most interested in where your Conibears and Gribbles were from in Devon.

Thanks
Elsie Person
