Lithuanian Family - Kavalunis or Kavalunas from the Kybarti area, changed to Covey in Denver

My husband's great grandfather was John (Jonas) Joseph Kavalunis (sp?), who immigrated from the Kybarti area of Lithuania prior around 1900, maybe a little before or after, but prior to WWI, when Lithuania was actually part of Russia at the time. All of the schools, government buildings, churches and public buildings were burned down with their records in them back then, by both the French and the Russians. So records of the family there are extremely difficult to find. I'm hoping someone out there will have a family bible with the family information in it. It appears they were probably Catholic, but there may possibly be some Jewish family members as well. Please contact me with any possible information. Thank you.
