Researching: Rukstela, Daunoris, Kirdulis
My grandparents immigrated to the United States in 1898. Alexander and Antonina (Daunoris) Rukstela. They were from Velzys. I think they were Catholic. Grandmother?s parents were Adam & Elizabeth Kirdulis. Alexander was born 1866, his wife in 1872. Grandpa had two sisters that I know of, Urzula (1890) & Catherine (1882) both of whom immigrated to the United States. Catherine married Peter Messoline while still in Lithuania. Grandpa had a step-brother, Jons Kozura (or Kozma) (1886) who immigrated in 1903. There is a step-aunt, Anna Curtis (1847) who immigrated in 1911. There are also a couple of cousins, Michael (1887) and Julius (1885) Kirdulis. I?m trying to find my grandfather?s parents? name and any other information about the relatives.
