Post by lilbees »

Can't figure out what the English name would be.
Can someone help me with the names of the children being baptised.

Both are female names - Surname appears to be Suszynska

Thanks T, you are correct. Origin, Lithuanian/Polish/Russian. I just couldn't figure them out. The surname for the other children is listed as Susinskas. My great Aunt Agata's surname is listed on some of the other children as Sarpalius, Sarpalis, Sarpaliuke, Sarpalaites and Sarpaliute. So many variations of the names get confusing for me. But I am getting there slowly. Won't go into all the various spellings of Agata's husbands' surname.

Even the death records are a nightmare as well.

Appreciate your help on this.
