Thanks for adding me! My Grandmother came over from Lithuania in 1898, Grandfather 1902. They lived in Lowell, MA. A Great Uncle came over and ended up moving to NJ, and my Mom and 2 Sisters moved also to find work. My Grandmothers Maiden name is Stackeliunas, Grandfather is Jurewiczus. The town of Kearny had a large group of Lithuanians and they had their own Catholic Parish, OUR LADY OF SORROWS. There is also a Lithuanian Catholic Community Club in town. Kearny has a ceremony on the Sunday closest to the 16th of February, where they raise the Lithuania flag on a pole next to the American Flag. A proclamation by the Mayor and town council commemorating Lithuanian Independence is read.
