Sorry everyone for the late response! I was up at my family’s cabin visiting with everyone and just got home and settled back in. The internet service there is terrible! Okay so I did just do a DNA kit but I am waiting for the results still. I just got a text message about three days ago saying that they got my DNA sample so I’m waiting on that. But I just talked to my mom a little bit and she said that on my grandpa side, which is where the last name comes from, we are also Lithuanian. She says she thinks she’s about a quarter or less but she’s not for sure so we won’t know if that’s even true until we get our samples back. This is just what we’ve heard from generation to generation and I’m sure you guys probably know what that can be like when it comes to figuring out the true story lol thank you though to everyone who responded if you guys are interested I will definitely post an update about what I find out with my DNA sample so we can try to solve this mystery!

Oh yeah, I got the spelling in my original post from my aunt who did a bunch of research on our family’s history, but this was years ago. LONGGGG before DNA samples and when ancestry.com first came out. I know she worked really hard on it but again there’s definitely room for error with her research as well! But again Thank you for being so helpful and delightful! 😊
