Kavaliauskas - may also be Kavakalunis, Kavalunis? From Kubartai, Lithuania

Surnames: Kavaliauskas, Kavakalunis, Kavalunis, Covey
Hello, we have had a great deal of trouble tracing my husband's family roots, from Denver, Colorado back to Kubartai, Lithuania. Once their great grandfather, John Joseph (english translation) their name was changed to Covey. Because so many Lithuanian towns were burned down by both the French and the Russians, most of their records from government buildings, churches and schools are gone. We don't know if there are any family bibles left that might trace the family's geneology. I am hoping I can find someone who has one or knows about the family there. If you do have info please message me here or email me at: grmacovey@gmail.com. Thank you so m uch.

I think you've already figured out Kubartai is really Kybartai, Lithuania.

I have cousins living there and my grandfather was born in Alvitas, Lithuania about 4 miles east of Kybartai.

So when did Jonas Juozas (John Joseph) arrive in the U.S.? Any luck in finding his arrival in the U.S.
