Czyz from Wilno(a)/Vilnius

Czyz from Wilno(a)/Vilnius

Posted: 20 Sep 2009 7:42PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Czyz, Sadowski, Jachimowicz
My maternal great grandmothers' name was (H)Elena Czyz. She married a Joseph J. Sadowski. Some of their childrens' names include Joseph (my grandfather), Konstantin, Fabian, possibly Carson and Antoni. My grandfathers death certificate lists his birthplace as Wilna, Poland. His marriage certificate to Joanna Jachimowicz lists his birthplace as Wilno, Russia. Joanna's baptismal certificate lists her birth on August 20, 1886 in Zasc-Gienwinie. I am guessing that Wilno/Wilna/Vilnius are all the same City and that Zasc-Gienwinie is a nearby town. Older relatives have said that Dziadek and Babcia were from the same towns. How does one get birth certificates from Lithuania? I would like to try to find my grandfathers entire family. I am fairly confident that there were also sisters who stayed behind in Poland.

Thanks in advance, Joan Sadowski Higgins
