My grandfather was born in Lithuania on Aug. 15 (or 16), 1880 and came to the U.S. aroung the turn of the century. He married Mary Ursula Selski (or Celskiti) on Nov. 20, 1906. They lived in Connecticut and Illinois; maybe some other places also. I am looking for information on Peter's parents, or any other information. Thanks

I am Joseph Ronald McCoy. My grandmother was Veronica Guditis. She Married Theodore McCoy. Her Parents were Peter Guditis and Mary Margaret Mockitis. They resided around the same time in Taylor springs, Illinois. And later moved to Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania. My grandmother's Mother had 3 children. The Leonard Guditis , Peter Guditis Jr. , and Veronica Guditis. Veronica was born Sept. 21st, 1912. Their names were Americanized to Gudd eventually after most immigarnts also modified their names. We called the family Uncle Pete, Uncle Len, and Veronica. The family , after owned a cafe named Gudd's cafe. We think it was located in Mahanoy city , Pennsylvania. We kind of lost track of both sides of the family.

Here is what I can tell you, which probably isn't much more than what you already know... Peter (AKA Peti?) Guditis was born on Aug15 1880 in Riga Lithuania. He was married to Mary Ursula Selski (b 15 Mar 1886) on 20 Nov 1906. He died in Peoria Illinois on 5 Jul 1941 (Ursula died in April 1953, also in Peoria). In the 1930 Federal Census, he stated he was a laborer on the Steam Railroad.
Peter and Ursula had 5 children... Frances Virginia (08Jan1907), Edward Guditis (b 16Aug1909), Rose Ellen (b 15Mar1911). Marion E (24Sep1914), and Bernice (Jan1911).
Frances V. married a Richard Clifton Seeber in 1925 and died in Jan 1971 in Peoria.
Bernice died between 1923-1926 in Peoria, IL.
Rose Ellen married a Hostetter, and died 3May1992 in Kissimmee, FL.
Marion E. married a Reppel, and died on 11Dec1943 in Peoria, IL.
Edward married my great aunt Ruth Delheimer on 25May1935 and died in Peoria ILL in Jan1978. Ruth (b2Dec1910 in Princeville) died on2Feb1992 in Peoria IL.

Edward and Ruth had two daughters, Roberta (13Jun1936) (who married a Farris) and Kay (06Sep1958).

From the looks of what I have, the surname Guditis should have died since there were only daughters (outside of Edward, who only had daughters) to Peter. Of course, there are ~30-40 Guditis' out there... I have to assume I am either missing something or my line doesn't go back far enough and a brother came over with Peter from Lithuania. If anyone has more information that tells more than what I have above or adds farther back, I am interested. Please send it to me at mattsuzie1010@hotmail.com
Thanks

I am the daughter of Peter McCoy, son of Veronica and Theodore. Would love to connect, I know virtually nothing about this side of my family.

I just started back researching, and saw your post. I know that Peter had 2 brothers: Anthony and John, and a sister: Theresa. I think Tony also lived in Peoria, IL, but I don't know anything else about him or John or Theresa. So far I have not been able to find out when these Guditis's came to the US; I know Peter and Mary Ursula Selski met in Connecticut and were married there.
